+Unfortunately, the complex setup process means that odd problems can
+occur. If you're having trouble downloading packages, it may be network
+congestion, so try a different mirror and/or a different protocol (i.e.,
+HTTP instead of FTP). If you notice something is not working after
+running setup, you can check the <command>setup.exe</command> log file
+at <literal>/var/log/setup.log.full</literal>. Make a backup of this
+file before running <command>setup.exe</command> again, and follow the
+steps for <ulink url="http://cygwin.com/problems.html">Reporting
+Problems with Cygwin</ulink>.
