Please re-read what Yitzchak said - it outputs the list of options into
setup.log.full
Just for emphasis, I'll say that again: *setup.log.full*
Open that for the options.
In fact, it also puts them in setup.log
The options you want are -L, -q, and -l, which are Install from local
directory, quiet installation (unattended), and local package directory,
respectively.

Spinning complacently in the darkness, covered and blinded by a blanket
of little lives, false security has lulled the madness of this world
into a slumber. Wake up! An eye is upon you, staring straight down and
keenly through, seeing all that you are and everything that you will
never be. Yes, an eye is upon you, an eye ready to blink. So face
forward, with arms wide open and mind reeling. Your future has
arrived... Are you ready to go?
