FYI, "Install from Internet" is exactly the same as "Download from
Internet" and "Install from Local Directory".  The packages are saved in
the package cache regardless.

The HTML and other manuals for Cygwin itself are contained in the
"cygwin-doc" package, which is not in the "Base" category, so it will have
to be installed explicitly (by either selecting everything, or selecting
that individual package).  Once it's installed, it should add some Start
Menu links to the Cygwin documentation.
