how to freeze a version of cygwin

[Ronald Landheer-Cieslak]

You can save the download dir to a CDROM if you want. You can use it as a 
directory to install from later. This is safe and the way I do what you're 
trying to do - which I only do to have two computers with the same Cygwin 
installation without downloading the thing twice, btw.
