I don't understand your objection to generating a script which lists all of the packages that you want to install. Obviously you wouldn't expect the user to do that. You'd just create a .bat file to do this. Alternately, maybe you could get away with just changing all of the "requires: " in setup.ini for the packages that you are interested in to "base". This is not an insurmountable problem. It just takes some scripting. cgf -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
