theYinYeti Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 I would like to download the whole cygwin distribution (all packages), so that I can burn them on CD, for when I work on a Windows environment (work...). At home, I don't have Windows, so I can't use the setup.exe program. How do you go about downloading Cygwin without setup.exe, but still be able to install Cygwin from the downloaded files using setup.exe at a future time? Yves.

tyme Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 can't you just download setup.exe, burn it to a cd (with anything else you want), then run it on the system you want to install it on from the cd? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theYinYeti Posted October 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 I'll have to try... I'm not sure setup.exe can be pointed to any directory. Downloading now... Yves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure I understand...when you run the setup.exe you tell it where to install the program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theYinYeti Posted October 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 Exactly! I already downloaded half of release/. Second half this evening :) Now I know it will work. Thanks both. Yves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
