[Ready for test/1.5.2] a2ps-4.13-1
Hello all, I have uploaded a2ps-4.13-1 package which is compiled against cygwin-1.5.2. This package contains the latest version of the a2ps program. I also added a C# style sheet to the standard package. # a2ps-4.13 setup.hint sdesc: Formats files for printing on a PostScript printer. ldesc: Formats files for printing on a PostScript printer. The format used is nice and compact: normally two pages on each physical page, borders surrounding pages, headers with useful information (page number, printing date, file name or supplied header), line numbering, pretty-printing, symbol substitution etc. This is very useful for making archive listings of programs or just to check your code on the bus. curr: 4.12-1 test: 4.13-1 category: Text requires: cygwin groff man psutils http://mysite.verizon.net/res1xzsj/cygwin/a2ps-4.13-1.tar.bz2 http://mysite.verizon.net/res1xzsj/cygwin/a2ps-4.13-1-src.tar.bz2 http://mysite.verizon.net/res1xzsj/cygwin/setup.hint Thanks Dave David Hudson | The Capital Group Companies | Location: BRO | Extension: 51887 Outside: 714-672-1887 | E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [ Mailing: 135 S State College Blvd. Brea, CA 92821-5704 USA ]

Win32-XFree project status ?
Hi. I was just wondering, what is the current status of the Win32-XFree project ? When looking at the website at http://sources.redhat.com/win32-x11/, it appears that the web site was last updated in 2001. Does this mean that the project is dead ? Is there any effort going on ? What is the current usability of the code ? Sincerely, John Smith

Core dumps : gij (GNU libgcj) version 3.2 20020927 (prerelease)
Hello, I am writing some code using the following directory structure, like it should be in java ./source ./source/classes putting into ./source the application, and in ./source/classes the libraries, where one of the libraries is programmed to throw an exception at a certain moment. When I execute this code using gij, I get a core dump. When I compile this code to an executable, it works fine. I have tested my code under Linux, with gij-3.0 and gij-3.3, there it executes fine, so the problem lies probably in the cygwin implementation. I have narrowed the problem down to a small main file, and a single class in the subdirectory which throws an exception. The problem persists. If anyone likes to investigate, I can send him my example code and a core dump as a tar file.

RE : Mostly reproducible rsync hangs
I've discovered approximately the same problem, and with scp also. Sometimes my transfert is stopped and stay there until I kill the server or the client. But I've not certified that is then the file is big. Sometimes I've arrived to freeze the transfert simply by typing some caracters when the transfert is in progress. My problem is the same with scp, then why not a ssh problem ? Configuration: rsync client : - rsync 2.5.6 (prot 26) on cygwin 1.3.22-1 - Windows XP english SP1 - through ssh rsync server : - rsync 2.5.6 (prot 26) on cygwin 1.3.22-1 - Windows XP english SP1 - sshd version OpenSSH_3.6.1p1 server from cygwin Thanks, Philippe. -Message d'origine- De : [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] De la part de Patrick J. LoPresti Envoyé : mercredi, 20. août 2003 23:47 À : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Objet : Mostly reproducible rsync hangs I am having a problem with Cygwin and rsync. I have reproduced this on multiple systems, all SMP boxes running Windows XP, and on multiple versions of Cygwin (including DLL 1.3.22 and DLL 1.5.2). To reproduce, I just configure sshd on a machine (call it cygwin-host) and run the following command from any RH9 Linux system: rm -rf /tmp/usr rsync -av -e ssh cygwin-host:/usr /tmp Almost always, the transfer hangs after a few megabytes have been transferred. But it does not hang in exactly the same place. According to ps, both the rsync and sshd process on cygwin-host are stuck in O state, and they stay there until they are killed. This happens for any large rsync from cygwin-host to the Linux machine, provided I initiate the transfer from the Linux machine. If I initiate an rsync from the Cygwin host (in either direction), or if I push a large tree from the Linux host to the Cygwin host, it always works, even for multi-gigabyte transfers. I will attempt to debug this myself, but I am curious whether others are able to reproduce it. Note that I am not sure whether Windows XP is relevant, but I am pretty sure that SMP is.

I've spent about 3 hours trying to get it to work to no avail.

Re: ssh does not find the config file?
Bursian Achim wrote: Using 'ssh utah' does not work, I get prompted for the password for [EMAIL PROTECTED] But strange enough, 'ssh -F $HOME/.ssh/config utah' does work. $HOME/.ssh/config should be the default for the config file, but obviousely it isn't??? You shouldn't have to specify IdentityFile in the config, since $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa is the default (and the path /home/.ssh you have above probably doesn't exist, unless your home directory is really /home/.) Actually, it is /home, I mounted it that way because I'm the only user on the system. Hmm, that does sound odd. I would suggest running either 'ssh -vvv' (or whatever it is that enables the max debug spew) or even 'strace ssh' and see what all files it's trying to look for. Is your home directory correct in /etc/passwd? Thanks, Brian, that was the right hint: In /etc/passwd the homedirectory was /cygdrive/h. I guess this is what cygwin setup does automatically, because H:\ is what my homedir on the NT domain is. Almost all other apps honor my setting in $HOME, but ssh seems to look into /etc/passwd only, not to $HOME. Although it claims to do so in the manpage: -F configfile Specifies an alternative per-user configuration file. If a configuration file is given on the command line, thesystem-wideconfigurationfile (/etc/ssh_config) will be ignored. The default fortheper-userconfiguration file is $HOME/.ssh/config.

All the 'stty erase' setting does is to select the 'character delete' code for use in 'simple' terminal input (e.g. from applications like ftp as opposed to shells which handle line editing themselves). Setting stty erase ^? achieves nothing useful with the default key mappings, because you can't actually generate a delete character! I think that rxvt has the functionality which you require. For example: rxvt -backspacekey ^? -deletekey ^h will give you a session in which the backspace key generates ^h and the delete key generates ^?. (It might then be useful to issue stty -erase ^? so that you can use the backspace key to delete characters in simple terminal input.) In the case of emacs, have you tried running it under X11? In this mode it can distinguish between the backspace key (which it interprets as a 'delete last character' function) and ^h (which calls the help command). -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

I would like to be able to use the [Auth_MySQL_DB *] directive in httpd.conf to avoid having a .htaccess in each of my users admin directory. (see example directive above) now, I guess you are building apache statically, right? In that case you will have to provide the libmysqlclient.a and libz.a as LDFLAGS to the build process. Another option is to rebuild apache in shared dynamic mode, which will create .dll files for each module (even the core). I expected shared dynamic mode. This is how it comes with the cygwin disto, right? So I followed the cygwin/apache docs: I used the recommended configure from the cygwin/apache docs ... $ ./configure \ --with-layout=Cygwin \ --with-port=80 \ --enable-rule=EAPI\ --enable-module=most\ --enable-shared=max\ --activate-module=src/modules/auth_mysql/libauth_mysql.a\ --with-perl=/bin/perl.exe\ --disable-module=src/modules/standard/mod_auth_dbm ... and added the last three parameters. Which produced: --- ## ## Inherited Makefile options from Configure script ## (Begin of automatically generated section) ## SRCDIR=. EXTRA_CFLAGS=`$(SRCDIR)/apaci` EXTRA_LDFLAGS= EXTRA_LIBS= EXTRA_INCLUDES= EXTRA_DEPS= OSDIR=$(SRCDIR)/os/cygwin INCDIR=$(SRCDIR)/include INCLUDES0=-I$(OSDIR) -I$(INCDIR) SHELL=/bin/sh OS=Cygwin CC=gcc CPP=gcc -E TARGET=httpd OPTIM= CFLAGS1=-I/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql -DCYGWIN -DUSE_HSREGEX -DNO_DL_NEE DED INCLUDES1= LIBS_SHLIB= LDFLAGS1= MFLAGS_STATIC=--no-print-directory REGLIB=regex/libregex.a EXPATLIB= RANLIB=ranlib LIBS1= -L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -L/lib -lz -lmysqlclient -lcrypt -lgdbm -lexpat --- I then made minor changes to LIBS1 section. At the time I wasn't aware that the libs need to be in LDFLAGS for dynamic build. So did I leave something out during configure? For dynamic build, should the lib flags be in LDFLAGS1 or EXTRA_LDFLAGS, or it doesn't matter? Then you can tweak /usr/local/apache/bin/apxs as it is in the cygwin net distribution (this can't be done automatically from the apache build process for cygwin unfortunately). After you 'make' and 'make install' simply copy the apxs from the orginal distribution tree into your build install tree and then use apxs to compile the mysql_auth module like $ ./apxc -c mod_auth_mysql.c in case you need to add LDFLAGS you can pass apxs the -L and -l options for the gcc. Hope I gave you a good roadmap. Yes, very helpful, thank you :) BTW, why is the recompiling of mysql_auth necessary? No it's not. However, in the latest ver (2.20), Zeev has changed the apache directives. He's kindly providing a script to update .htaccess files but I'd rather avoid that whole mess and go with all the latest as I just now begin to add password security to my application. Furthermore, in 2.20 there have been a number of fixes relating to crypt'ing that I'd like to get out of the way. Is the versioning the same between the cygwin distro and disto from Zeev? i.e. does cygwin mod_auth_myslq 1.11-1 == mod_auth_myslq 1.11-1. I didn't find a 1.11-1 in Zeev's rev history?

Re: Map Backspace to ASCII DEL?
Hello Ian, my apologies, I'm still learning english;) Currently it seems that the cygwin terminal sends ^H (ASCII BS, 0x08) for backspace, and the VT220 Remove escape sequence (\E[3~, 0x1B5B337E) for Delete. I'd like it to send ^? (ASCII DEL, 0x7F) so that ^H can be used by applications (e.g. emacs). This is how I've always configured # \C-h: backward-delete-char # \C-?: backward-delete-char At least I found the Bash builtin bind: bind -u backward-delete-char removes all bindings for the Backspace key so you can define ^H yourself with another Function.

Zeev, I'm having problems linking with the MySQL 4.0 libmysqlclient under cygwin. It appears that the lib does not have mysql_connect() but instead has my_connect(). Does mod_auth_mysql need to be updated? Am I doing something wrong? Is there a work-around? Additionally, I would like *not* to have an .htaccess file in each of many user/admin directories for a project I'm working on. I would like to be able to use the directive [Auth_MySQL_DB] in httpd.conf as follows: Directory /var/www/htdocs/*/admin AuthType Basic AuthName Password Required Auth_MySQL_DB * Auth_MySQL_Password_Table http_auth Auth_MySQL_Group_Table http_auth Auth_MySQL_Empty_Passwords Off Require Group admins /Directory Each of my users will have there own db and further be able to apply access privileges to additional users for their db.

This works for bash and probably other shells that use readline. Hi Gerrit, Thanks, but like stty this is too high level. This only tells applications that use the readline library what to do when they receive a certain character or string from the terminal. Readline, termcap/terminfo, and stty settings only change how the applications that use them react to a certain character/string. I'm looking to change the character/string that is sent to them for a particular keycode. In general it is a lot easier and there is a lot less to configure if the ASCII DEL character is sent for the Backspace keycode, and this also frees ASCII BS, or ^H, to be used by applications such as emacs. I would like to use Cygwin as my terminal and via ssh access several different machines, so minimizing the configuration required at each system is important. If I was on a Linux box I would accomplish this locally by changing the keymap using loadkeys, but this doesn't appear to be a part of the Cygwin port (and for all I know it may not be sensible on account of the Cygwin/Windows low-level details?).

Re: ssh does not find the config file?
Check the permissions on your directories. 'ssh' will ignore a .ssh directory if anybody else has write permissions to the containing directory. i.e. Both /home and /home/.ssh should have permissions 755 or something even more restrictive. It bypasses this check when you explicitly provide the path on the command line because otherwise you could not place temporary configuration files in /tmp or another common scratch directory.

Re: init and xinetd woes
Hi Jonathan, I found I had to write a custom /usr/sbin/init.sh script to get init to work properly. It seems like the sysvinit has nothing in it that actually controls setting the runlevels during startup and shutdown. So I installed the script as the service instead of the init program: cygrunsrv -I init -p /usr/sbin/init.sh -c /tmp -d 'CYGWIN init' -t auto -s INT -o I find about once every few days, my services stop working for now apparent reason. In most cases I can restart them with: /sbin/telinit 0;sleep 60;/sbin/telinit 3 However, occasionally, that does not work. Then I do: cygrunsrv -E init kill -9 each of the surviving daemons cygrunsrv -S init I suspect the main cause of the failure, is execve() does not work the same under Windows and Unix. For Unix, the new program invoked by the execve() command has the same process id as the original. For Windows, the process ID can be different from the original. Consequently any script that does something like: echo $$ newProgram.id exec newProgram might not have the newProgram's PID in the newProgram.id file.

Re: change wallpaper periodly by cron?
There is a solution for programs which you don't compile. That is simply to reposition the console window off screen. i.e. Right click on the title bar of the window and select properties. Then go to layout. Unselect Let system position window. Adjust the window so the position is off screen. Click OK. Finally, select Save properties for future windows with the same title and click OK. Now your window still opens, but it doesn't clutter the screen. If you want to avoid even having the icon, I find the successful approach for that is to invoke your program via rxvt. For example, for my Cygwin icon I use a short cut of with a target of: d:\bin\rxvt.exe -e /bin/bash --login. You can use the -geometry option on your rxvt windows to hide those. Indeed a console window still opens, but it is off screen, and closes so quickly that most of the time I never see the icon on my task bar for it. For crontab jobs, I found the same type of trick works if you install the program as a service. i.e. cygrunsrv -I pcphone -a -w -p /usr/local/bin/pcphone -s QUIT -o -t manual Next under Windows Services, check the allowed to interact with desktop button. Now whenever I run /usr/local/bin/pcphone either interactively, or from a crontab job, it simply starts calls cygrunsrv -S pcphone which in turn invokes: /usr/local/bin/pcphone -w Finally, the pcphone script when invoked as a service starts the real pcphone.exe via a nohup call to rxvt, sleeps for five seconds and then exits. So the CONSOLE window icon exists on my task bar for no more than five seconds. Once the CONSOLE window is closed, the rxvt window is also killed, however the children of rxvt, pcphone.exe are not killed. So pcphone.exe is left running as an orphaned process. The reason for the five second delay is just to give rxvt enough time to invoke the pcphone.exe program.

Re: HLDS and Cygwin
Elfyn, Thanks for taking some time to help with this. I am sorry I did not provide enough information on the problem. Let me answer your questions below: On Mon, 18 Aug 2003, Elfyn McBratney wrote: GDN_Cygwin wrote: There seems to be a problem running HLDS (half-life dedicated server) for windows and Cygwin and possible other similar apps. The setup: 1) Full install of HLDS, lets call it hlds1 2) Second complete install of HLDS in separate directory, call hlds2 I have no problem executing the hlds1 or hlds2 by themselves. But when I try to run both at the same time the 2nd one does not run at all. Sorry, I do not know what HLDS is or what it does, apart from it being of the server variety of applications. Is HLDS a free software project, an open source project, a commercial thing? HLDS stands for Half Life Dedicated Server. Half Life is a game that is very popular in the online multiplayer community. There are many mods people have put out that use the HL engine to run including Counter Strike, Day of Defeat, etc. The game is developed by valvesoftware.com. If I kill hlds1 and run hlds2 it starts right up. If I run either hlds1 or hlds2 and try to even execute the other one from file explorer I get an error Unable to load engine, image is corrupt. Although if I run hlds1 and hlds2 from file explorer they both run fine. This doesn't really sound like a Cygwin issue. Is HLDS a Cygwin app or Mingw app [read: native windows app] ? This version of it is compiled for windows however the dedicated server has a linux port that I run just fine on native linux boxes no problem. I could not run the linux executable on the Win2000 box under cygwin, should I have been able to? I have seen on the net claims that cygwin has: NOTE: There are issues with the cygwin.dll and separating simultaneous user space. Use with caution! There *are* issues when running multiple versions of the Cygwin dll (cygwin1.dll), but not when running two Cygwin programs on a single installation. I see. Then perhaps that issue I found digging around on the net does not apply. They suggest using SSH.COM's SSH solution for this issue. Who does? And if this entity suggests using ssh.com's solution for this problem then perhaps you should goto ssh.com for help. It was a thread about an application that ran under cygwin. Has anyone else run into this? I tried to even run firedaemon from cygwin but cannot do it without admin so thats out. I also tried to run psexec but it does not work under cygwin either apprently. This approach was to try and get cygwin to start hlds as services by a non Admin user to get around the problem. The main thing I am trying to do is have a normal (non Admin) user run hlds.exe and have multiple copies of it run on the same machine. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm sorry but, although you have provided a lot of information, it's not really useful. You seem to have a problem with a *Windows* program, and I'm not too sure how Cygwin fits into this at all. Please take a gander at http://cygwin.com/problems.html, if you think this really is a Cygwin issue. So let me give a little more information about this HLDS.exe application. Basically the application is a windows compiled application. If I execute the application run windows explorer it fires up no problem. I also dont have any problems running one copy of the hlds.exe program from within cygwin. Where the problem comes into play is when I try to run a second copy of hlds.exe (where I copied the entire directory to a second location on the HD) from cygwin. What happens is the 2nd copy does not load it just sits there and does nothing unless I hit control-c to stop execution. The odd thing about it also and what makes me belive it is a cygwin problem is that if I run the hlds.exe and the 2nd copy of it from windows explorer they run no problem. However if I run just one copy from cygwin then both windows explorer and cygwin are unable to run the second copy.

RE: HLDS and Cygwin
Well it does not depend on cygwin to run. The only reason I am trying to get multiple copies to run using cygwin is that I need a way for a user to authenticate to the windows box and run their own copy of the program. Without cygwin that is not easy to do that I am aware of. The HLDS server is free by the developer valvesoftware.com.

RE: HLDS and Cygwin
What I am trying to do is run multiple copies of the hlds server under cygwin. Now granted the server was NOT compiled under cygwin. Is that going to be a problem? Keep in mind the server does not have any GUI, just text output but the network stack I assume is designed to use the windows stack. I have no problem running the executable from cygwin as long as it is one copy. Just any more is where the problem comes about even if I copy the executable to different directories.

In this mode it can distinguish between the backspace key (which it interprets as a 'delete last character' function) and ^h (which calls the help command). rxvt is purely an X application though, no? No. It's not a purely X only application.

Here's another tip: Instead of wildly long invocation lines use ~/.Xdefaults to specify things that are common and possibly to create term types then use rxvt -name... For example, instead of $ rxvt -fn Lucida Console-*-15 -sl 500 -backspacekey ^? -deletekey ^? \ -bg # -fg Whtie -colorBD Blue -colorUL Red -cursor Red You can just do rxvt for your default rxvt.

Setup without a mouse
Hi! After reading the questions about using setup without a mouse, and the subsequent replies about requiring a redo of setup, I'm willing to give that a stab. I'm doing a project that requires the use of netpbm under Cygwin (I refuse to pay for tools that don't work as well as freely available stuff), and I'm facing the issue of automating the installation. The current setup makes that difficult, to say the least. I guess this means I'm volunteering some effort to do an update. Where's the setup program in the source tree?

Re: named pipes

Re: change wallpaper periodly by cron?
FYI, you can use the run command that comes with XFree86-bin (or get it from Chuck Wilson's Cygwin tools page) to avoid seeing the window at all. Also, cygrunsrv has the -i flag that sets the interactive bit for the service. Igor On Thu, 21 Aug 2003, Bill C. Riemers wrote: There is a solution for programs which you don't compile. That is simply to reposition the console window off screen. i.e. Right click on the title bar of the window and select properties. Then go to layout. Unselect Let system position window. Adjust the window so the position is off screen. Click OK. Finally, select Save properties for future windows with the same title and click OK. Now your window still opens, but it doesn't clutter the screen. If you want to avoid even having the icon, I find the successful approach for that is to invoke your program via rxvt. For example, for my Cygwin icon I use a short cut of with a target of: d:\bin\rxvt.exe -e /bin/bash --login. You can use the -geometry option on your rxvt windows to hide those. Indeed a console window still opens, but it is off screen, and closes so quickly that most of the time I never see the icon on my task bar for it. For crontab jobs, I found the same type of trick works if you install the program as a service. i.e. cygrunsrv -I pcphone -a -w -p /usr/local/bin/pcphone -s QUIT -o -t manual Next under Windows Services, check the allowed to interact with desktop button. Now whenever I run /usr/local/bin/pcphone either interactively, or from a crontab job, it simply starts calls cygrunsrv -S pcphone which in turn invokes: /usr/local/bin/pcphone -w Finally, the pcphone script when invoked as a service starts the real pcphone.exe via a nohup call to rxvt, sleeps for five seconds and then exits. So the CONSOLE window icon exists on my task bar for no more than five seconds. Once the CONSOLE window is closed, the rxvt window is also killed, however the children of rxvt, pcphone.exe are not killed. So pcphone.exe is left running as an orphaned process. The reason for the five second delay is just to give rxvt enough time to invoke the pcphone.exe program.

Re: library vis export library
A DLL is a DLL
Whether you
create a DLL by compiling a source file and linking to the correct DLL
format
or assemble precompiled objects and create the DLL which creates the headers
for the exported functions and variables (essentially identifying the exact
signature needed by the linker)
really doesnt matter
Have you ever tried to execute a binary and it croaked because of memory or
resource limitations?
Have you had a common piece of functionality that you would want multiple
developers to Link and Free when they need it...then a DLL will be the
answer
Exporting objects out of a library and relink it with aforementioned gcc
exportlibrary
gcc -shared -o cyg${module}.dll \
-Wl,--out-implib=lib${module}.dll.a \
-Wl,--export-all-symbols \
-Wl,--enable-auto-import \
-Wl,--whole-archive ${old_lib} \
-Wl,--no-whole-archive ${dependency_libs}
will create a DLL for you
A dll can be shared by everyone and can be dynamically loaded and unloaded
leaving a smaller resource footprint
than their weightier static library cousins who are usually bound into huge
weighyy binaries
Hth,
Martin

Licensing for academic computer labs at a university
Hi, Would it be possible to incorporate Cygwin into computer lab images for computer labs at an educational institution for academic use by students? Would the source have to be included too if it was included on each hard drive of a lab workstation? (I'm talking about a pre-installed package--not a setup that students must run first.) The FAQ mentions the full package itself is approximately 800MB--NOT INCLUDING the source code.

It's a snapshot
Tonight's snapshot is nearly 1.5.3-ready. I'd appreciate it if people would test the snapshot and report failures or successes here. If there are no serious issues with this version then I will probably flip the switch and make 1.5.3 the latest, current version of cygwin, switching all of the test versions of packages to be current at that time. Then, at that point, we'll hear from all of you who haven't been testing 1.5.x and its packages, of course... Btw, I know that Corinna has at least one mmap patch to add before this goes gold. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

If the students update their installations, they should be able to get the new sources from wherever they got the binaries anyway. Also note that not all the packages available from Cygwin mirrors are used by (or useful to) the general public -- some are highly specialized, and thus don't have to be included into your distribution (e.g., lilypond or xinetd or rsync, unless your students typeset sheet music, or administer their Windows services through Cygwin, or maintain mirrors, respectively). Some also have similar functionality, e.g., pdksh and astksh, so there's a tradeoff between functionality and code size, since you won't need both packages.

1.5 is coming... please test away!
As some of you probably already know, volunteers and package maintainers have been working away getting everything ready for the transition to Cygwin 1.5 (though I've left it all to the last minute g). It's been tough, much spilt coffee I'm sure. Now what would be nice(tm), is if users of these packages could test them out[1] as much as possible before they go current, so as to make sure they're working OK (for you, at least). Happy testing, -- Elfyn [1] To be able to test the functionality of available 'test' packages you need to have Cygwin 1.5 installed (a snapshot at one's own risk, or the version available via setup.exe). Once you've upgraded the 'cygwin' package (available in the 'Exp' category; where all other available 'test' packages will also be) all you need to do is install the package in the same way you would install any other 'current' (stable) package. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

how to install without internet connection?
Hi - The proxy server at work is really fussy and no matter what I try, I can't get the setup.exe that I pulled of the cygwin website to successfully connect. Is there a way to install without having the installer be able to connect to the internet? For example, can I download all the packages I need, then fire up the installer, and then point it at that directory? How do I do that?
