[osgeo4w-dev] Download from mirror?

[andrea antonello]

Hi Matt,
that would be an great option. There is only one problem with it. It
is not installed by default, right? So for example in my case I have
no way to get the commandline installer without passing through the
gui installer.

Or is there a way for this?

Thanks,
Andrea
