Okay, I did have the cygwin-2000*.tar.gz in the directory before issuing
setup cygwin. But setup clearly indicated it was downloading both 2000*
and 1.1.1 then it proceeded to install 1.1.1 and 2000* (in that order).
Is this the behavior you'd expect just because there already happened to
be a cygwin*.tar.gz file in the current directory?

Like I originally said, I have not tried to track down exactly what is
going on behind the scenes. I was reporting what I saw. Do you have a
theory that would explain why setup did what I observed?
