Being able to script setup.exe would be nice though. Some package management ala RPM or something would be nice, but I understand priorities. So my work around: - Install cygwin the way I like it on one computer - Remove the .done extention from the stuff in the postprocess directory - Copy the install to a CD or something - Copy to the computer you want to install on - Run a little perl script I just wrote that goes through the /etc/postprocess directory and runs everything there, adding .done to the end of each script when its done with it, just like the installer does. This seems to work fine, but I haven't tried it on a "clean" install of Windows yet. Its getting late so I'll do that tommorow. If anyone is interested in the perl script I can post it. Its a rather simple script, but does the job. -- Joseph Annino Consulting - Perl, PHP, MySQL, Oracle, etc. jannino@jannino.com - http://www.jannino.com -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
