Ok. Is through CVS the only way to get it?

Ah! That sounds *much* better ;)

I searched for setup.ini on my C:\ drive, but only found some from
InstallShield, and one obscure c:\mspclnt\setupbin. Where is Cygwin's
setup.ini located?

I copied setup.exe to the c:\cygwin\etc\setup, where the tarballs were
copied to, and tried to run it from there. When I choose "Install from
current dir", setup reports "nothing to install/update". Obviously, I'm
doing something wrong... what's the trick?
BTW: is there any setup FAQ somewhere? This could prevent me from bugging
you continuously...
Best,
Andre Costa
