.... I searched the main cygwin archives & found a thread on installing Cygwin using Linux. It recommended just WGET-ing or FTP-ing the whole release directory along w/ setup.exe & setup.ini & get on with it. However .... I poked around on ftp.ale.org & observed that there were usually 2 copies of packages in each subdir, both source & binary (4 packages total). I am a bit tight on disk space, is there a way to automatically download *only* the latest binary of each package ? Better yet, is there a Linux version of setup.exe ? TIA
