OK. I guess you just somehow missed this: http://www.cygwin.com/download.html That explains your options. Installing by a method other that setup is not really supported by this list however. BTW, there are no *required* settings beyond unpacking the software. But if you want any of the additions that setup gives you, that's another argument for just using setup. Of course, the source for setup is available if you'd just prefer to look at it to find out what it does. But you're right. There is no documentation that guides you through a manual install of Cygwin. It's assumed that if you don't use setup, you understand enough about what you're doing to just do it. Either that or you're the adventurous type. ;-) Really, there's really no *magic* to setup though...
