My suggestion here (clearly with far too few words), was to download the source package from Setup.exe. That source package "scp"ed over, "configure"d, and "make"d just nicely to/on the SuSE box here :) Not the first I've used Cygwin sources to update the software running on our 'nix server. But m

Yes, it works. I have always done it this way. The complete cygwin distribution without sources and only selecting [curr] downloads about 250MB which fits without problems onto a CD. You have to be careful, that you really download ALL packages to a seperate directory, not only those that have a m
