Say the original path for the installation packages was c:/cygwin/LocalPkg. For the downloaded packages from which I would create an installation CD, I created c:/cygwin/LocalPkg/pkgImg. I chose "Download without installing" in setup.exe and "Reinstall" in the Select Packages phase. However, the download fails repeatedly regardless of the mirror specified. Fortunately, in the initial download attempt, most of the download was completed before the failure. In order to fetch only the missing packages, I identified the missing packages as: _autorebase 000164-1 _update-info-dir 01088-1 libpoppler19 0.18.4-2 Unfortunately, I can only select Keep or Uninstall. There is no choice to Reinstall regardless of whether the Keep or Cur radio buttons are selected. Why would this be, and how can I select Reinstall so that the packages are downloaded into c:/cygwin/LocalPkg/pkgImg? If there is no solution to that, would it be a good idea to simply copy the corresponding folder from the actual local package directory c:/cygwin/LocalPkg to the corresponding location in c:/cygwin/LocalPkg/pkgImg? I can't just test this on a whim because I have to prepare the CD at home then arrange for an administrator to install it in the office. -- 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
