Where is The Binary Only Install CD?

2006-01-26 Thread big one
I want to help my friend without internet connection in installing Cygwin. The 
only setup program is setup.exe (online).

The official advice: download release directory from Cygwin mirror. This 
directory contain 2 versions of source codes and 2 binary / pre-compiled 
versions of each package. There are more than 250 package.

I know about GNU license, but can Cygwin team/someone create a complete Cygwin 
install CD / ISO with 1 version of pre-compiled binary and no source code?

Thank you.

Hi,

you can do it yourself.

Just download all the packages you want but do not install them. They 
files are kept in a location one directory level below where the setup 
executable sits.


Then burn all to CD including the setup program and start it at the 
target machine.
