.... I searched the main cygwin archives & found a thread on installing
Cygwin using Linux. It recommended just WGET-ing or FTP-ing the whole
release directory along w/ setup.exe & setup.ini & get on with it.
However .... I poked around on ftp.ale.org & observed that there were
usually 2 copies of packages in each subdir, both source & binary (4
packages total). I am a bit tight on disk space, is there a way to
automatically download *only* the latest binary of each package ? Better
yet, is there a Linux version of setup.exe ? TIA
