Re: Question on setup.exe

Hi there,


assume I had a cygwin installation on one computer with the local package directory located in c:\mylocalpackage.

Is it possible to copy this directory to a other computer and use the -L flag (local install) to install a identical copy of my Cygwin installation without access to the net ??(because the content of the local package dir constist of dirs corresponding to the Cygwin mirrors)

Assume after download you have hierarchy:

setup.exe
ftp%3a%2f%2fmirror.switch.ch%2fmirror%2fcygwin%2f/release
ftp%3a%2f%2fmirror.switch.ch%2fmirror%2fcygwin%2f/setup.ini

Copy all to new host and just run setup.exe with selecting local install.
You will be prompted for location of  directory with setup.ini file.
Select and press 'Next'.
