Re: offline cygwin install question

[wynfield at gmail dot com]

Ask Microsoft if Microsoft XP 32 bit code will run on Microsoft 64 bit systems.
Should work. But, not a good idea.   

Why not, be smart and download the cygwin setup.exe and packages specifically built for 64-bit systems and then transer it over to your non-connected 64 bit machine with a flash memory stick of suitable capacity.  

Or if you wnat simply swap the internet connect calbe to your 64-bit machine, do the downloading and then restore it.

Cheers
