Hi All, I only want to install the following modules: -------------------------- bash base-files sed gawk --------------------------
But it's an uneasy work to deselect all the unwanted modules from the default status on the cygwin setup dialog box. (And the selection work must be done again every time I invoke setup, if setup failed or I want to add/remove modules). I used an extern tool to calculate all the required modules from the basic module set by parsing the download setup.ini file and generate another ini file like: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # This file is automatically generated.
