<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.)

||||
