True.  My apologies.

In light of your comments, I see that I have confused the installation 
process with finished product, the latter which is (relatively) location 
insensitive.

I read the user manual again more closely and found the answer in 
chapter 2, section *Download Source*:  "The Download from Internet 
option is mainly for creating a base Cygwin package tree on one computer 
for installation on several machines with Install from Local Directory;"...

Might adding an item to http://cygwin.com/faq/faq_2.html#SEC8 "How do I 
install cygwin on several machines?" highlighting both the above and 
below comments prove helpful?

This makes sense.  Thanks for the tip.
