I noticed this a while back, too, with .908.  I thought I mentioned 
it but maybe not.

There are explicit switches for download (-D) only or local-install 
(-L) but not for "install from the internet".  It looks like the 
"last-action" setting in /etc/setup/setup.rc controls what is used as 
the default for the next run: "Download", "Install" (local install) 
and "Download, Install" (internet install).

At a minimum, it seems that the code currently is in contradiction to 
the --help output: once you choose -L or -D, that becomes the default 
mode for subsequent runs.  Until explicitly changed back by running 
setup and clicking the appropriate button on the second dialog (or 
editing the rc file?).
