Dear Cygwin Users: I currently run setup through a Windows shortcut that adds options -d -N to the standard command line. Being exposed recently to cygwinports, I was attempting to have separate shortcuts, one for regular cygwin and one for cygwinports. To distinguish between them, I tried adding -s <site> to the command-line options to specify the respective sites. Instead of working as I expected: 1. In the "Choose A Download Site" window, instead of simply auto- selecting my regular site, it created a duplicate entry of the site; and 2. When I proceeded to the next step, it complained with "Unable to get setup.ini from <[site]>" and wouldn't let me proceed until I selected the other of the duplicated site names.
Perhaps my mission to have separate setup procedures for cygwin and cygwinports is folly, but wondering if I am doing something wrong or if the -s <site> option isn't working as it should. --Ken Nellis -- 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
