In order to ensure that I could reinstall a working cygwin version if
necessary, I have in the past used the "download from internet" option in
setup, then burned the installation files to a CD. However, it looks like
the same files are downloaded and retained if one selects "install from
internet". Is that correct? Can one reliably reinstall, say after a hard
drive replacement and without an internet connection, using only a CD copy
of the download directory generated by using "install from internet"?
