How this works AFAICT
The meat is here
wget `cat /etc/setup/last-mirror`/setup.bz2 && ( bunzip2 -c setup.bz2 | 
grep setup-version | cut -f2 -d' ' ) 

pushd              # save current directory
>/dev/null         # suppress output from pushd
/tmp               # move to /tmp
2>/dev/null        # suppresses a lot of wget's "noise"
popd >/dev/null    # return to original directory , suppressing "noise"
