Deepa,

a) it had better be the same, or setup won't find the packages
b) that is why it's better to use "install from internet" right away - you
   only need to select the packages once

FWIW, now you can do either "install from internet" or "install from local
directory" - as long as you specify the right local package directory,
setup won't re-download stuff that's already downloaded (unless there's a
newer version available, that is).
