What is the correct way to use setup's "Download from Internet" option to download all of the Cygwin packages without installing them?
I am trying to download all of the Cygwin packages so I can put them on a CD. I have to install Cygwin on a machine without internet access. Below is a summary of what I have tried and the problem I am having. I created an empty directory E:\cygwin, downloaded setup.exe to it and ran it. I selected "Download from Internet" and specified E:\cygwin as the local package directory. 1. First, I tried to select "Default" next to "All" so it changed to each category from "Default" to "Install". The resulting download only included non-Default packages. It looks like setup thinks I have current versions of the default packages so it marks them as "Keep". I DO have them elsewhere on my machine, but not in the "Local package directory". 2. Then I tried to simply download the default packages without modifying the selection. The resulting download only included three packages (_update-info-dir, gdb, opensll). Is setup looking at packages I have installed on C:cygwin? I would rather not remove these files from my machine in order to make a CD for another machine.
