> There is *no* (practical, sane) way to install Cygwin without setup.exe. Ok. I assume that a base Cygwin Installation can be produced with setup.exe in its current state, even if you cannot use the chooser since the base is preselected by default, so if you get it up and running and have managed to choose a mirror you just need to click through and wait to get a working base Cygwin installation. Then you should be able to fetch packages from a mirror via wget or ftp, all infos needed is the mirror list and a recent setup.ini where you can pickup the relevant paths and filenames alongside with the dependencies. Usually it is sufficient to extract the packages from root and run/rename files in /etc/postinstall iff there are files. Hmmm, e.g. ftp (inetutils), wget, openssl, lynx, all those tools are not included in the base config. An option to make it easier for those users and to have an intermediate solution: Create some more default configurations besides 'base', maybe 'All with X', 'All without X', 'Cygwin Devel', 'Cygwin & Net/Web' and possibly some others so those users can trigger a configuration where some important net-/webtools are already included.
