  So, as the others mentioned, it is certainly supposed to remember these
settings.  They should be stored in the file /etc/setup.rc; can you check that
it is there, and what the owner and permissions may be on it?

  You should also find log files in /var/log; the setup.log.full file contains
a detailed log of your most recent run of setup.exe, so please take a look and
see if there are any errors indicated around the start of the file, where
setup should be loading its settings.

    cheers,
      DaveK
