The setup.exe program linked on main page can download the entire 
distribution. You can then copy that distribution anywhere you want and 
use setup.exe to install on any non-networked machine.

See http://www.cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/setup-net.html#id4675192

Basically choose Download from internet on one of the initial pages.
Specify some directory to hold the sources, say cygwin-packages
On the package list select the all radio button.

The cygwin-packages directory will contain a setup.ini, and a directory 
named after the mirror site you downloaded from.

Alternatively you can just rsync off of a mirror, and point setup.exe to 
that directory. For example, from 
ftp://ftp.heanet.ie/mirrors/sources.redhat.com/pub/cygwin

For a list of mirrors see http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html

If you search the mailing list archives you should find more detailed 
discussion of how to do non-networked installs.


HTH.

Dave.
