> Is it advisable to run both Cygwin 32- and 64-bit setup installers with the same downloaded set of packages from a unique mirror? I have 6GB data downloaded from a mirror, I downloaded that while running step 64-bit installer.

If you used setup-x86_64.exe to do the downloading then that will have 
downloaded 64-bit packages only. If this is the case then you will have 
some more downloading to do to get the 32-bit packages. However, you 
don't have to do a full install - if you select only those packages you 
need during the installation process then that will reduce the amount 
you need to download.

But otherwise, you can install 32-bit and 64-bit Cygwin side-by-side, 
and from the same mirror.

Cheers,

Dave.
