New description:

 The "Choose a Download Source" page gives users the options to:

  * install from internet
  * download without installing
  * install from local directory

 I think these options are confusing to the typical windows user.  The user
 just wants the installer to work: install the packages locally.

Comment (by warmerdam):

 It is my intention that this dialog would continue to exist, but would be
 only available in Advanced mode.  Amoung other things this may necessary
 for implementation of an OSGeo4W CD/DVD.  So, I would like to close this
 as "wontfix".
