Sy, Thanks for all you laconic input. Too bad you couldn't spend some of the time you saved with these breif email messages to the list looking at the email archives that discusses this issue at length. If you had, you would see why Cygwin doesn't install in the form you want. That would've removed the need for you to contact the list at all, unless of course you wanted to join the effort to improve the current installation procedure. Of course, that might take allot of time. So you could just look at the FAQ entry:
How do I just get everything? http://cygwin.com/faq/faq_2.html#SEC14 Oh, if we could've all just saved all this time! What a different world it would be! ;-) Larry Original Message: ----------------- From: Sy or Ursula Bensky [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Fri, 31 Jan 2003 10:57:08 -0800 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: CygWin Installation The installation would be much simplified if it was available as a tarball or.ZIP file.
