What I had in mind was something like this:

Warning: The mirror you have selected is not on the list
         of official Cygwin mirrors.  It may be out of date
         or missing some packages.  If you experience
         installation problems consider trying an official
         mirror.

         [X]   Don't show this again

                        [ OK ]
