In order to ensure that I could reinstall a working cygwin version if necessary, I have in the past used the "download from internet" option in setup, then burned the installation files to a CD. However, it looks like the same files are downloaded and retained if one selects "install from internet". Is that correct? Can one reliably reinstall from only a CD copy of the download directory generated by using "install from internet"?
