I put together a "portable" cygwin installation system, which might
work in your case. On a computer with internet capabilities, I ran the
setup and downloaded all the packages I wanted to a local directory,
then aborted the installation. Then I took the directory where all the
packages were downloaded and moved them to a USB drive. From there you
can run the setup and point the local package directory to wherever
you stored that source directory, and cygwin will install from there
rather than an internet mirror.
