The problem is that if setup-9x inherits a mirror URL from the previous

so that setup-9x can warn the user that she's about to install the wrong
versions of the packages.

Yeah, I see the scenario now. Maybe the 9x version of setup.exe could just use a different filename for /etc/setup/last-mirror so that it does not pick up the last mirror used for standard setup.exe.

Y'all really make my head hurt. Setup.exe points to release/ as it does now, while setup-9x points to release-9x/ which is the renamed release/.
