Adding/removing custom mirror URLs in setup.exe...

[Thomas Chadwick]

2 separate questions about customizing the list of mirror URLs in the cygwin setup.exe program:

1) When adding a custom URL, what is the correct syntax to describe the path to the cygwin pacakge directory? For instance, on an FTP accessible server I have a directory in my home directory called "cygwin" which contains setup.exe and setup.ini. Underneath that is the release directory which contains all of the packages. I can browse the directory hierarchy in IE with a URL that looks like "ftp://username:password@hostname/cygwin";. I tried entering that URL in the approriate place in setup.exe, clicked Add, then selected it from the list and clicked "Next", but then got a message saying is could not find setup.ini.

2) Once I've added a custom URL to the list of mirrors, how do I remove it?

Thanks.
