Subject: installing cygwin on private lan

Hi,

I would like to install Cygwin on a DOS box that doesn't have an
Internet connection but that does have a network connection to a Linux
box.  The Linux box is dual-homed (Internet and the private lan) but
does not route between the two networks.  It does export a filesystem
to the DOS box.  If I could populate the Linux filesystem with the
Cygwin packages then I could use setup.exe's
"Install from Local Directory." option on the DOS box.  But I've been
unable to find a Linux version of setup.exe which I would use to
populate the Linux filesystem via the "Download from Internet" option.

So is there a Linux version of setup.exe and if not, how do I populate
the Linux filesystem from which the DOS box will install Cygwin?

Hazel
