I also would like to be able to switch off the local cache md5sums,
most of my co-workers do a 'local' install from a shared directory
(*very* restrictive firewall at work).

HOWEVER, I'm not against releasing setup as stands (it has far
too many improvements) if a release with a fix for this was OK'd
fairly soon after a patch (commandline off switch?) was checked
in.

How's that sound?
