Scenario:

A few months ago I used SETUP.EXE to "download from internet" to a local hard
drive, which I copied to a CD to make it easier to install Cygwin on
workstations.


When I want to update this local disk mirror with the latest packages, which
option do I choose to download ONLY updated or brand new packages, skipping
what is unchanged?


Is a "update an existing local mirror" procedure in a FAQ somewhere?

Experiment with "clean_setup.pl" (google)

You need to use it like this:

wget a new setup.ini
clean_setup.pl
wget the files it says are missing
clean_setup.pl # puts the new downloads in the right directories.

Max.
