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?


Cygwin needs still Windows environment, not DOS environment. And for Linux and Windows co-operation you could use NetBIOS (Samba on Linux side).

For further information refer Linux documentation about Samba server, and accessing network shares for Windows machine.

Of course there is possibly option to use WINE, don't know does it work tough...
