The first time through, there is a known race condition: cygwin isn't
installed, so /etc doesn't exist, and the package dir is not saved, the
mirror details are instead stored in the package dir itself. So, if you
run setup a second time, give it the same settings. The third time it
will remember the second time's settings.

There isn't, but basically, ifyou can run programs, i.e. execute ls,
then it should be ok.
