Might be a good idea to change this. I can reach the internet from one PC, but not from the other. Would be nice if I could use ftp to install from a reachable server (not equiped with samba) to install from. Faking IP via "hosts" will allways work... but I consider this "not gentlemen like". I would like to see some option to tell setup it has to use a specific ftp-server to connect to, assuming this an exact mirror of "ftp://sources.redhat.com/cygwin". If I could specify an URL this would be really nice! -- PGP Fingerprint: 3E7B A3F3 96CA 8958 ACC5 C8BD 6337 0041 C01C 5276 -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
