I thought I mentioned it but maybe not. There are explicit switches for download (-D) only or local-install (-L) but not for "install from the internet". It looks like the "last-action" setting in /etc/setup/setup.rc controls what is used as the default for the next run: "Download", "Install" (local install) and "Download, Install" (internet install). At a minimum, it seems that the code currently is in contradiction to the --help output: once you choose -L or -D, that becomes the default mode for subsequent runs. Until explicitly changed back by running setup and clicking the appropriate button on the second dialog (or editing the rc file?).
