Thanks Wayne, that was the clue I needed. Turns out cygwin will use the Windows Registry to store previous install locations, and in that previous location I had the "download only" option set. The setup program used the Registry to find a previous install location (/etc/setup/setup.rc file) and used that to populate some options.

I bet the line following "last-action" is just "Download" in your file. Mine is "Download,Install" (after a tab). ..wayne.. -- 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
