You have assumed I would install from the Internet. But I've been installing/updating Cygwin32 offline from a local mirror and on more than one machine, and that for a long time without ever needing any packages from /contrib. I don't remember when the contrib directory got introduced. And I have assumed it would be similar to Red Hat Contrib, i.e. optional, not strictly required. :There is no need whatsoever :to go rooting around in the cygwin directory structure. I do need to know what to mirror locally because I let a script preselect interesting packages and not download the rest. Anyway, thanks for trying to help.
