Hello! % % How can I install from an ftp server when I can't reach the internet, thus % not beeing able to fetch the list of mirrors from "ftp.cygwin.com"? Do you have all of the files locally already, or are you limited by a firewall to ftp but not http? % % "setup.exe" seems not to have the ability to tell at startup which % ftp-server should be used. Any Idea how to make "setup.exe" use ftp % servers without fetching the mirror-list from "ftp.cygwin.com"? If you can get to the list of mirrors somehow, I believe you can put a server into either the ini file or the registry and it will use that one. I also know that you only need ftp for downloading; if you install from a local dir then it doesn't care about the 'net. You might just use curl or wget to pull down the source tree, a copy of setup (whatever its number is today :-) and the setup.ini file and then do a local install, perhaps from a CD that you make to get it over to this crippled computer. % % -- % Thomas HTH & HAND :-D -- David T-G * It's easier to fight for one's principles (play) [EMAIL PROTECTED] * than to live up to them. -- fortune cookie (work) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.justpickone.org/davidtg/ Shpx gur Pbzzhavpngvbaf Qrprapl Npg!
