Yes, if the directory you install from looks like a local mirror then setup.ini should be found in the correct place and the signature should check OK to ensure the file and everything you install later on, through the SHA-512 checksums, hasn't been tampered with. You can skip the signature check with '-X / --no-verify', but unless you modify setup.ini I suggest to just download the .sig file as well. You might want to add '-m / --mirror-mode' as well to ensure that setup doesn't switch into ad-hoc install mode inadvertently. If you want to use the ad-hoc install method w/o setup.ini (which requires that setup searches the disk for package files, which is quite inefficient for a full install), then rename the directory so it doesn't look like a local mirror or start setup from a deeper level in the directory tree.
