xterm from local install

I have several Win7 64bit machines which cannot be connected to the internet, and I can't install the xterm package. I am able to run with the normal cygwin shell. I can start Xwin, but doesn't work very well. Looking at the X log at least one problem is that it can't find xterm. When I run setup,

I'm creating a Cygwin snapshot for installation from CD, and I've got everything figured out except for one thing: I need setup.exe to default to a local install. I can't use a shortcut to run setup.exe because shortcuts have absolute paths. It looks like a batch file would work,

Suppose I want to modify and rebuild a cygwin package that was created using cygport. I may want to install it in /usr/local to avoid conflict with the official version. One way to do this (I think) is to add options like --prefix=/usr/local, --bindir=/usr/local/bin, etc., to the call to cygc

Steve, Well, you don't _have_ to use Setup.exe, but if you don't, you need to know how it re-arranges the directory structure between the mirror host and the local directory. Again, check out the messages I referred to and choose either Michael Chase's (Perl) or my (BASH) scripts to do the dow

Steve, Did you use Setup to do the download, or did you use some other tool? If it was the latter, then most likely you did not create the proper directory naming convention required by Setup.exe. As for providing Cygwin in a single grotesque tarball, that's really infeasible. Updates happen f

Randall, the original poster's suggestion was not to use setup.exe to download the packages, but rather a linux box. This way you lose the dependency tracking in setup.exe (it does not run on Linux afaik), and to make sure you don't miss a dependency and thus waste a CD you'd have to download *al
