This is a substantial amount of work. Also: setup development discussions happen on cygwin-apps@cygwin.com. >> and if you want it lots submit a patch ;) > > Do you know where the sources for setup.exe live? I tried CVS > src/winsup, but did not find anything related (/setup, /netinstall > ...) See http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin-apps/. Note that current setup HEAD is to some extent in a state of disrepair. The link above and the setup sources haven't been updated since gcc3 became the primary compiler for Cygwin. As a result, patches are required to build with either of the current Cygwin releases of gcc and gcc2. See recent cygwin-apps archives fot details. Also, there are some bugs in HEAD which have occurred since the last release.
