Subject: how to install without internet connection?

Yes. You can download the site, and use the local dir to install

1) Choose a mirror from the mirror list at wwww.cygwin.com
2) download the entire file tree. Use wget  or other similar tool
3) select install from local directory

Hi -


The proxy server at work is really fussy and no matter what I try, I
can't get the setup.exe that I pulled of the cygwin website to
successfully connect.

Is there a way to install without having the installer be able to
connect to the internet?  For example, can I download all the packages I
need, then fire up the installer, and then point it at that directory?

How do I do that?
