Hello - Context: I need to produce a cygwin fileset on CD that I can install on a system without net access. I don't need a "seamless" installation from the media, but I do need to select any of the packages I have planned; I've had trouble with this (for X11 specifically).
I want to make a "clean" cygwin installation (using 'setup.exe') on a Win2K box and find some information from earlier installation attempts seems to be retained. I did the following: 1) Copied a new 'setup.exe' from 'www.cygwin.com' and placed it in a directory I had used on previous installation attempts, but had erased using the Win2K file manager. 2) Started my new 'setup.exe' and found it already held some defaults from a previous attempt, specifically: (a) the fact I wanted to 'Download' rather than 'Install', and (b) the identity of the mirror server I had used. I suppose there may be more retained information I don't know about. How should I completely "launder" a Win32 box so I can get a "really clean" Cygwin installation from one mirror server? Thanks for suggestions. John M.
