Search the list archives for "unattended setup". You'll probably need to configure the ssh service to allow interaction with the desktop.

Bad news. I don't have enough time to play with the sources. >> How would I see the result? > > If worse comes to worst, you can always take a look at > /var/log/setup.log{,full}. That's what I was afraid of. Thanks for help. Is any text-mode setup developed? Or at least planned? I would increase a lot the value of Cygwin.

It requires an existing installation with such things as perl and cp involved, though. I've been using it for all of my updates for a while with no problem but it is not quite polished enoug for wide distribution yet. There are still some problems with replacing running binaries, like for instance, the cygupdate.exe itself. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

I guess that you could adapt the same solution, if it makes any sense.

Now I'll try to look for some info on "unattended setup" recommended by Igor.
