how to install without internet connection?

Hi - The proxy server at work is really fussy and no matter what I try, I can't get the setup.exe that I pulled of the cygwin website to successfully connect. Is there a way to install without having the installer be able to connect to the internet? For example, can I download all the packages

As some of you probably already know, volunteers and package maintainers have been working away getting everything ready for the transition to Cygwin 1.5 (though I've left it all to the last minute ). It's been tough, much spilt coffee I'm sure. Now what would be nice(tm), is if users of these pac

Tonight's snapshot is nearly 1.5.3-ready. I'd appreciate it if people would test the snapshot and report failures or successes here. If there are no serious issues with this version then I will probably flip the switch and make 1.5.3 the latest, current version of cygwin, switching all of the tes
