I am wondering:
Why would they set these html files as System files?
Why info-zip (or probably any DOS app) can't restore them??
Why WinXP's internal unzipper goes an order of magnitude slower if the
archive has S files???
Thanks,

As I said earlier, I am trying to deploy Cygwin on 100 WinXP machines by
zipping C:\cygwin from a reference machine and unzipping the archive on
100 targets. It works but unzipping is painfully slow (takes 45 minutes
instead of 4-5).
A little deeper look shows that WinXP's builtin unzipper spends almost
all the time in the following three folders:
C:\cygwin\usr\share\doc\
C:\cygwin\usr\share\qt3\doc\
C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\lib\X11\doc\
I don't need any documentation for Cygwin, nor man pages nor user guides
particularly when these three folders constitute only 10% of the total
Cygwin disk space but take 90% of the time to unzip. I tried excluding
cygwin-doc and the setup stalled at the end of download at
_update-info-dir package with an error "Download incomplete, retry?"
Retry failed too. It seems there are some dependencies problems. Which
packages should I exclude from installation on the reference machine?
