I found the answer in another post: 1) If necessary, update from the official distro by "Download Without Installing" from a listed mirror. 2) Run setup.exe again and "Download Without Installing" ONLY from Cygwin Ports. 3) Run the following command: sed -i -e "[EMAIL PROTECTED]:[EMAIL PROTECTED]: `date +%s`@" \ /path/to/ftp%3a%2f%2fsunsite.dk%2fprojects%2fcygwinports/setup.ini 4) Run setup.exe once more and "Install from Local Directory". ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
