This morning I downloaded the setup file from the Cygwin website. I started
the instillation and selected all the packages to be installed.It started
downloading packages from the mirror site I selected. That was 8 hours ago
and the downloading now says its at 330% and increasing I thought it would
finish at 100%. So is this because of the extra packages or is it just
downloading the same thing over and over. And when is it suppose to finish
downloading like at 400% percent or something?
I doubt anyone is trying the same,
full cygwin installation is > 10Gb
(only full texlive packages are ~ 1Gb and the
post installation script is very slow)
Best is to install only what you need
I suggest you to install as start only Base categories,
check that it works and to add later only the thing you really need.
You will save a lot of time.
