RE: Installing cygwin NOT from web

[Vince Hoffman <Vince dot Hoffman at uk dot circle dot com>]

Well this is only partly true, as you may have noticed there is also a
download option, this allows you to just download without installing,
allowing you to later install from the files you have downloaded, just saves
you HAVING to install cygwin to get hold of a copy in an installable
directory structure.)
