I've got 8 of these directories in my local package directory; some end with %2f (/) and some don't. I zipped all this up, unzipped it on a new computer, and pointed setup to the unzipped copy, but setup hardly installed any of the packages, even though I can see all the the packages' tar.bz2 files there. I don't think the setup.ini files are getting merged correctly. Is there some way I can re-create one big setup.ini file from my current computer, and just have setup use that on the new computer ? - Tom -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
