Download discrepencies

I tried to download cygwin, using setup.exe version 2.416, chosing "default" for all packages except "install" for XFree86. Tried 3 different mirrors and all gave me me different number of packages and MBytes downloaded, like: ufl.edu 122 files 88.8 MB rcn.net 120 files 81.1 MB anl.go

Re: Speeding up Cygwin deployment

Yes. You're better off setting up a package server. See: From this you can control the packages installed but can use 'setup.exe' to install, which understands how to unpack packages, symlinks, and run postinstall scripts. Also, you'

Re: Un-attended install ALL

All this pain, just because some one did not include "--InstallAll" option to setup.exe?? As the saying goes, . Of course, you can always look to see if any of your issues with 'setup.exe' are addressed by a snapshot

The local packages folder has two mirrors - the main (http%3a%2f.../) and mymirror/ (which has only this empty allpackage). How do I tell setup.exe to look inside BOTH mirrors? Type in the name of your mirror site when you are asked for the mirrors you wish to use. I am installing from "loc

Escape sequences are not interpreted

When I look at a man page in a bash window under cygwin, I see that video escape sequences are not interpreted. My TERM is set to "xterm" in an xterm window and "cygwin" in a DOS window. LANG variables are set to en_US. As an example, here are a few lines from the screen dump of "man cygwin"

Cygwin problems under Vista

I see that quite a few people have experienced problems running cygwin and applications like XFree86 server under Windows Vista. We have been using Cygwin under XP for may years and would love to continue using it under Vista. I will appreciate suggestions to the following questions: 1) Some p

I have a shared folder on my desktop which I have mapped as Z: drive on my laptop. Both machines are running Vista+SP1. My laptop has a recent version of Cygwin. When I do "ls -lR /cygdrive/z" it takes very long. There are only about 700 files on Z: totalling only 100 MB. When I monitor network
