+<question><para>What about an automated Cygwin installation?</para></question>
+<answer>
+
+<para>The Cygwin Setup program is designed to be interactive, but there are
+a few different ways to automate it. If you are deploying to multiple systems,
+the best way is to run through a full installation once, saving the entire 
+downloaded package tree. Then, on target systems, run setup.exe as a "Local
+Install" pointed at your downloaded package tree. You could do this 
+non-interactively with the command line options 
+<literal>setup.exe -q -L -l x:\cygwin-local\</literal>, where your downloaded 
+package tree is in <literal>x:\cygwin-local\</literal> (see the next FAQ for
+an explanation of those options.)
