Re[4]: trouble again downloading.
Hello Dave, I can neither confirm, nor deny this behaviour. I've tried hard to reproduce it but to no avail :( I'll take a look at the source code this night - hopefully I'll see something :) The disturbing thing about your issue is that no one (except you) has reported this behaviour. Usually when there is a bug (in setup) it shows up on the list at one point and there are (usually) multiple confirmations of the buggy behaviour. If you feel like it, you can get the sources for the latest released setup.exe from CVS, build yourself a debug version and try to debug it. If you think you that you're willing to debug but dont feel like building setup.exe on your own, I can build a debug version for you.

Anyone interested in helping this guy? Doesn't a subject like trouble downloading invoke any curiousity in people who are contributing to setup.exe development? Even if he's doing something wrong, we should investigate problems like this to figure out how the program can be improved to eliminate this type of confusion. cgf ---BeginMessage--- Hi, Ok i spoke to soon.

Re: trouble again downloading.
Hello dave, Looking through you setup.log.full I find this: [irc] action=Skip trust=prev installed=none src?=no categories=All, Net [squid] action=Skip trust=test installed=none src?=no categories=All, Web [inetutils] action=Skip trust=test installed=none src?=no categories=All, Net [ncftp] action=Skip trust=test installed=none src?=no categories=All, Net [openssh] action=Skip trust=test installed=none src?=no categories=All, Net [openssl] action=Skip trust=test installed=none src?=no categories=All, Libs, Net [rsync] action=Skip trust=test installed=none src?=no categories=All, Net [ttcp] action=Skip trust=prev installed=none src?=no categories=All, Net [whois] action=Skip trust=prev installed=none src?=no categories=All, Net This are all members of the Net category - one of the list which you say you weren't able to install. You notice the the action next to all of these packages is set to Skip - this means that the installer will not try to install/download them. You say that you have ensured that the word 'Install' stays next to the Net category (If I understand right your message from Apr 30), but then the action would not be Skip as you can see from a setup.log.full generated right as I am writing this message - I've just run setup.exe and on the package chooser screen I changed from Default to Install next to Net: [apache] action=1.3.24-3 trust=curr installed=none src?=no categories=All, Net, Web requires=gdbm, cygwin [inetutils] action=Keep trust=curr installed=1.3.2-17 src?=no categories=All, Net [irc] action=20010101-1 trust=curr installed=none src?=no categories=All, Net requires=termcap, cygwin, ash [ncftp] action=3.1.3-1 trust=curr installed=none src?=no categories=All, Net requires=less, terminfo, libreadline5, libncurses5, cygwin [openssh] action=Keep trust=curr installed=3.1p1-1 src?=no categories=All, Net [openssl] action=Keep trust=curr installed=0.9.6c-3 src?=no categories=All, Libs, Net [rsync] action=2.5.5-1 trust=curr installed=none src?=no categories=All, Net requires=cygwin [ttcp] action=19980512-1 trust=curr installed=none src?=no categories=All, Net requires=cygwin [whois] action=4.5.17-1 trust=curr installed=none src?=no categories=All, Net requires=cygwin Can share with the list what choices did you make during the installation proccess ? I think Michael Chase already asked you about this but you did not respond to his message. Are you installing cygwin on this machine for the first time or you're upgrading existing installation ?
