Is it advisable to run both Cygwin 32- and 64-bit setup installers with the same downloaded set of packages from a unique mirror? I have 6GB data downloaded from a mirror, I downloaded that while running step 64-bit installer.
If you used setup-x86_64.exe to do the downloading then that will have
downloaded 64-bit packages only. If this is the case then you will have
some more downloading to do to get the 32-bit packages. However, you
don't have to do a full install - if you select only those packages you
need during the installation process then that will reduce the amount
you need to download.
But otherwise, you can install 32-bit and 64-bit Cygwin side-by-side,
and from the same mirror.
Cheers,
Dave.
