But it doesn't seem like I have some thing missing , here is the listing of my top level CD-ROM directory : directory - total 1116 -r--r--r-- 1 bt bt 2600 Jun 10 08:00 INSTALL.TXT -r--r--r-- 1 bt bt 4141 Apr 18 2002 README.TXT -r--r--r-- 1 bt bt 393740 Jun 9 19:38 cygwin.pdf dr-xr-xr-x 5 bt bt 4096 Jun 10 05:50 mail-archives dr-xr-xr-x 17 bt bt 4096 Jun 10 04:55 math -r--r--r-- 1 bt bt 225 Jun 10 06:47 md5.sum dr-xr-xr-x 2 bt bt 4096 Jun 5 2002 private dr-xr-xr-x 174 bt bt 4096 Jun 10 06:47 release -r--r--r-- 1 bt bt 48079 Jun 9 22:07 setup.bz2 -r--r--r-- 1 bt bt 259072 Jun 10 06:35 setup.exe -r--r--r-- 1 bt bt 183808 Jun 9 22:07 setup.exe.old -r--r--r-- 1 bt bt 186186 Jun 9 22:07 setup.ini dr-xr-xr-x 2 bt bt 4096 Jun 10 03:03 tmp dr-xr-xr-x 2 bt bt 4096 Jun 10 09:41 utils dr-xr-xr-x 3 bt bt 4096 Jun 10 04:58 xfree As you can see it is all there and was downloaded just yesterday. Infact I compared the setup.exe and setup.ini on both the CD and the hard drive. Both are identical byte by byte. Yet they behave differently or I must be hallucinating :-). Note the CD rom very closely mirrors the ftp archive. I am trying to find my way through setup's source code but with my busy schedule this is going to take a long long time, so I am really hoping some one would answer this. And yes I installed not only libintl2 but the other versions of libintl also . Infact in trying to solve this problem I tried to install all the packages except : apache ccache curl doxygen dpkg emacs enscript exim fortune gcc2 ghostscript gnugo guile libxml2 libxslt lilypond mutt nano perl pine postgresql proftpd python ruby splint squid swig tetex texmf xerces-c xfree I will gladly put the CD ISO image on an anonymous ftp site should anyone be interested in having a look at it. regards B Thomas On Tue, Jun 10, 2003 at 03:16:45PM +0100, Max Bowsher wrote: > B Thomas wrote: > > Hi, > > I would be gratefull if you could help with the following problem: > > > > I am trying to make a CD so that cywin binary/source can be installed > > from this CD.
