Re: Installation problem.

[DEEPA SIVASANKARANE <aj9035 at wayne dot edu>]

Hi Igor,

   I  did a "Download from Internet".  Now I have a 
C:\cyg_cache  with the 
1. ftp%..%  directory.
2. setup.log
3. setup.log.full

 a)Now, when I run setup again with option- "Install from 
local directory".
"The Select Local Directory" option, could it be the
same i.e C:\cyg_cache or different ?

b) Why is that the menu comes up again - "Select packages to
Install " ?  Would it install packages according to this
selection, I'm about to make, or from the already downloaded
set in C:\cyg_cache (downloaded with "DOwnload option") ?


Thank you,
best regards,
Deepa
