Brian,

I guess you are referring to 
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=cygwin&m=110538795118459&w=2
I'll give that a whack.

If I follow the instructions from that posting, and burn a CD
with that custom installation, what do users have left to do to get a
working installation on their machine?
Just copying from the inst CD to a local drive would not suffice, would it?
