No, unfortunately not.
I do have a unique local package directory, set to F:\CygwinInstall\
Setup automagically will generate
F:\CygwinInstall\ftp.switch.ch...\release
F:\CygwinInstall\ftp.univie...at...\release
and so on. __I cannot do anything about this.__
You see? If I do want to avoid this, I must always use the same mirror.
And what if it's unaccessible due to a server downtime?
Bad luck then I guess :)
Or manual-copying-time again.
If you still don't believe, I'm happy to make a screenshot.
