Applying this technique [thanks, Nicolas]... http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2007-07/msg00134.html ...I created my own "virtual" setup file: http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/lmi/setup.ini Relevant excerpts from instructions I wrote for end users: "Choose A Download Site": Select any mirror; copy this: http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/lmi/ and paste it into "User URL", then click "Add". As a result, two lines in the listbox should be selected, though they aren't necessarily both visible on the same screen. "Select Packages" appears after a progress page. Make sure lmi is selected in the "Base" category; that's the only thing you need to do on this page. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
