Benjamin, are you really sure you meant what you said - about the OP already having Cygwin installed on his LINUX machine ?   
Okay, I know that it IS technically possible to run Cygwin on Linux by using Wine, but can't imagine why anyone would want to  ! 
I totally agree with your other comments though - current size without sources is about 258 Mb. Also, you are right about the directory depth, though this will depend on what file system and format the OP is able to burn the CD on his LINUX box - UTF, ISO-9660, CDFS - all relevant but depends on what burning package is being used. I'm pretty sure that Nero is NOT available to run under LINUX, and I certainly haven't had any success trying to run a Windows version via WINE.   
Kevin.
