Applying this technique [thanks, Nicolas]...

...I created my own "virtual" setup file:
http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/lmi/setup.ini
Relevant excerpts from instructions I wrote for end users:
"Choose A Download Site": Select any mirror; copy this:
http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/lmi/
and paste it into "User URL", then click "Add". As a result, two
lines in the listbox should be selected, though they aren't
necessarily both visible on the same screen.
"Select Packages" appears after a progress page. Make sure
lmi is selected in the "Base" category; that's the only thing
you need to do on this page.
