(Did RTFM and STFW) To: cygwin AT cygwin DOT com X-Mailer: Lotus Notes Release 5.0.8 June 18, 2001 Message-ID: From: PM AT nworks DOT dk Date: Tue, 4 Dec 2001 16:48:46 +0100 X-MIMETrack: Serialize by Router on Notessmtp/Nworksext(Release 5.0.4 |June 8, 2000) at 12/04/2001 04:53:16 PM MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Hi, During the course of my installing I also quickly discovered, that I only had a very rudimentary set of packages installed. The FAQ, under "What packages should I install" says: "Just get everything, if you have room for it." If this is the recommendation, then why isn't it easy to do? On previous setup versions there was a Full/Part button (See e.g. http://cygwin.com/xfree/docs/ug/cygwin-downloading.html) so it was possible to get a full install easily. This is aparently no longer possible. Instead I had to double-click on each individual non-selected package to get it. This is an error prone process, especially when there are different versions of some of the packages. Is there still a way to easily get a complete installation? I could not figure out how to do it. I could not find answers to any of these questions, and I suspect they are worthy for the documentation or FAQ. (But then of course _my_ questions are _always_ worthy of that, aren't they? :-) Hello -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
