Doesn't solve the problem entirely. Location isn't the only issue, despite what estate agents will tell you. There seem to often be problems with the switch.ch mirror for example, even though it is probably the closest to me (of course, if I were closer to a border it might be a French, German, or Italian server, who knows). I'm not sure I want to wait for pings off all the mirror servers, either. But, since the website already knows where the mirrors are, and since the installing computer possibly knows where *it* is (hell, you could always ask the user, the first time)... Anyway, what I'd really like to know is, manually parsing the setup.ini aside, is there any way to uninstall (say) Cygwin/X all in one blow? I spent what felt like hours last night clicking through various packages to "uninstall", only for some later package, when cycled through "reinstall" on the way to "uninstall", to reset it. I considered taking a hammer to it, but didn't want to disturb the neighbours at such a late hour. Now *that* would be an improvement to setup I could get fully behind (a way of seeing and uninstalling not only package A, but all dependant packages as well, not using a hamme on the computer). -- 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
