Just change it in setup next time you run it. If you want to keep all the cached data, just copy the directories that look like ftp%3f.... and their contents to whereever your new local package dir will be. BTW: the default is the dir you run setup from, so you must have created c:\cygwin, copied setup there, and then run it...right? > On the other hand, would it be a good idea for setup.exe to > tag its directories in some way, like with a zero-byte file, > so that it doesn't take just any old setup.ini file it finds? Mmmm. I'll think about this. I don't want to interfere with users using mirroring tools.
