After installing CYGWIN_NT-5.1 lap-fr4zcs84sdc 1.5.18(0.132/4/2)
2005-07-02 20:30 i686 on Windows XP or Windows 2000, a folder named ftp%
3a%2f%2fftp.sunsite.utk.edu%2fpub%2fcygwin remains on the desktop.

1.  Must this folder be kept?  It appears to consist entirely of tar
files (plus Setup.ini)?

2.  If it must be kept, must it be kept on the desktop?

3.  If it need not be kept, it would be useful if the installer offered
an option to delete it.

4.  If it needs to be kept, but need not be kept on the desktop, it
would be useful if the installer offered an option to put it somewhere
else.

5.  I couldn't find anything about it in the mailing list archives or
FAQ.  I did a Google search, which turned up two 404 pages.  If all else
fails, it would be useful to mention it somewhere.
