Now, you guys might think I'm 100% nuts, but I download *everything* and install *everything* from Cygwin, although there is very little that I configure (I use the applications out-of-the-box). [for example, I never have configured an ssh server on Cygwin]. So, not all of the Cygwin packages are 64-bit yet (looking forward to that day). So, what I would like to do is: 1. download all 64-bit packages; 2. download all 32-bit packages that aren't already represented in 64-bit form; 3. somehow install so that I have everything from both #1 and #2; I could do the following: 1. Download all of the 64-bit Cygwin packages; 2. Download all of the 32-bit packages (inefficient, but the command line install is hard to program); 3. Delete all 32-bit packages that are represented in the 64-bit download; 4. modify the text file (?) installed_db? 5. Install from the download directory the 64-bit products; 6. install from the download directory the 32-bit products; Now, is there a better way to do this? Another thought that I had was that I would have two distinct Cygwin installations, one fully 64-bit and the other one would be fully 32-bit. I guess what I'd like to have is a hybrid of cgf's method and the combination of two distinct Cygwin installations, one 32-bit and the other 64-bit.
