Dear Phoenix -- While I'm not 100% sure what you're really asking, I
think the
answer is "no". Cygwin is not a single thing so much as a key library
plus a
whole suite of programs ported from Linux and linked against that
library.
You pick and choose which packages you want to install. The "setup"
program
is what you ue to do that, then it downloads and installs the
packages. You
also use it to update things as packages evolve (and sometimes new
packages
are added).
It is possible to install cygwin and the required packages from a local
repository with the --local-install and the --local-package-dir command
line options
If your underlying question is "Can I install Cygwin without using admin
privileges, and if so, how do I do it?", that is answered in the FAQ,
