How do you want to handle the two versions?

Assuming enough disk space you could use both in full and mix 'n' match.

d:/Cygwin/CD/
d:/Cygwin/Net/
d:/Cygwin/Combo/

In the cygwin.bat file for each of these you'll add a line to change the root /
to point to the correct directory for that set and add a shortcut to the
desktop for each cygwin.bat.

E.G.: mount -b -f d:/Cygwin/CD /
      mount -b -f d:/Cygwin/Net /
      mount -b -f d:/Cygwin/Combo /

The downside of this is that you can only use a single set at a time.  Once the
mount takes place it happens for the children of the current session as well.
