Having just gone through this myself... first download the tex/latex packages (must be in .bz2 format) from http://lilypond.org/cygwin/uploads/tetex/. The 3.0.0-2 packages now work, but if you genuinely want to go back to the 2.0.2-15 version, they are there in the appropriate directory. Copy them into a separate directory on your cygwin machine. Then run setup.exe. When it asks you where you want to install from, select "local directory", and then input the directory where you copied your packages.
It will ask you where you want the root directory next, but that is some place like c:\cygwin (not where you've copied your packages). Then continue with the installation. Setup will give you a list of packages to install. Change the "default" to "install" and your packages will be selected for installation.
Then proceed as you normally would, and it will install just fine.

Hi all. I don't see where to find out how to revert to an older version of a package (in this case, tex/latex). I've tried running setup.exe, but when I get to the package selection dialog I don't see older versions as options. faq, howto, any and all pointers greatly appreciated...
