First off, Cygwin packages are distributed as .tar.bz2 files, not .tar.gz
-- are you sure you got them from the right place?  Secondly, setup
doesn't read the setup.hint and md5 files, it reads the setup.ini
(setup.bz2) in the top install cache directory.  Thirdly, did you try the
"Full" and "Not installed" views?
