Can I assume that you downloaded this from a mirror and that
you did not see my article:

http://sourceware.cygnus.com/ml/cygwin/2000-04/msg00473.html

I made a change to setup.exe which caused problems.  It would
have caused problems even if we had made one large file.

You are free to download all of the tar files in the latest/*
subdirectories.  Put them in one temporary directory, run setup
and choose the 'd' option to install everything.
