I have a dialup connection, and obvioulsy the setup of the enviroment would take ages. I took my laptop to work, and used the broadband connection to download the files, and it installed the cygwin stuff on the laptop. I got home, and transferred the install files to my desktop in the same folder, My Documents/Cygwin Install/... then I copied C:/cygwin from the laptop over to the desktop, also in c:/cygwin . I double click the bat file in c:/cygwin, and I get an error "bash.exe: warning: could not find /tmp, please create !"

Well, I checked , and there is a tmp folder in c:/cygwin already. Anyone know why it doesnt work ? It does work on the laptop if that matters.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Here is a pic of the error, along with the cygwin directory:

I always choose the download only option first then after everything is downloaded I install from the local hard drive. Works very nicely.

That's what I have a problem with. I transferred all the install files from the laptop to the desktop, and ran into the above problem. If I tried to install it from the installer on my desktop it'd take days on a dialup connection. And there isnt any guarantee that my dialup would stay connected long enough to download all the files needed for the setup.

you can choose install from local directory and point to our downloaded files...

Thank you very much. Everyone...
I can't believe it was something as simple as that lol. I now have it running, but now feel very retarded for not trying that before lol. I hope learning C doesnt follow the same path rofl.

Again, thanks for the quick responses and help I received. TY
