I've made a lot of progress on the command line options, but it's not yet
complete (I got interrupted by being made redundant). Hopefully I'll be
supplying the patch in the next week or so.

installing silently...?

[Mark Balunis]

i'm wondering if there is a method of installing
silently.

i've downloaded the source to a directory structure on
my local syste, and would like to be able to deploy a
setup to target systems silently, with a preselected
set of packages.

thanks!

Mark

No, nothing supported.  I'm sure you could create a script or two to 
do this if you know enough about the installation process...

Certainly!  The sources are the most instructive.  Look at 
http://www.cygwin.com/contrib.html to find out how and where to get 
the source from.  This will tell you how to get the source for all of
Cygwin.  You only need to focus on the cinstall directory.  That's where 
the setup sources are.  This will tell you about everything setup does!

BTW, there was some talk of adding switches to a newer version of 
setup (still to be released) that may help you with your quest.  You
might want to check the email archives for this information and/or the
change logs of the latest sources to see what was being discussed and
how much is done.  Could help you... maybe.
