Might be a good idea to change this. I can reach the internet from one PC, 
but not from the other. Would be nice if I could use ftp to install from a 
reachable server (not equiped with samba) to install from. Faking IP via 
"hosts" will allways work... but I consider this "not gentlemen like". I 
would like to see some option to tell setup it has to use a specific 
ftp-server to connect to, assuming this an exact mirror of 
"ftp://sources.redhat.com/cygwin". If I could specify an URL this would be 
really nice!
