All categories were downloaded seperately before. .\setup.exe -q -L -l C:\Programme\cygwin\mirror\ -R C:\Programme\cygwin -n -d -CAdmin,Archive,Base,Database,Devel,Doc,Editors,Graphics,Interpreters, Libs,Mail,Math,Mingw,Net,Perl,Publishing,Python,Science,Shells, System,Text,Utils,Web,X11 All works fine. Today I tried to update my installation with unattended setup. First I download all new packages to my harddisk without installation. Then I tried to call setup in unattended mode - I know that setup knows all my installed packages so I use the following setup call - same call as above but without flag -C for categories. .\setup.exe -q -L -l C:\Programme\cygwin\mirror\ -R C:\Programme\cygwin -n -d All works fine - but newer packages are missing - cause they were not installed in my old installation - i.e nosleep, pscan, outguess, ... Is there a possibility to update a cygwin installation on base of categories? I tried -C flag with the whole list as above, but no package is installed. Is there another possibility to update a cygwin installation with unattended setup? Are newer package dependencies to not installed packages resolved by setup? best regards Heiko -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
