My Systems team need to install from >scratch on bare boxes, from only an image DVD (which contained all the >requisites of the future machine, including CYGWIN's setup and the >downloaded directory, as I previously described). If you want cygwin on an image DVD, just copy an installation to the disk from which the DVD is made, thereby avoiding setup. (That is similar to how I clone my desktop on C: via H: to my laptop - also on C:.) Then you just need a script to customize /etc/passwd, /etc/group, create /home/$user, and maybe re-run some of the scripts in /etc/postinstall/. Ideas for updating from a master installation without setup available upon request. (I suspect that this method is not supported by this list since setup is not used.)
