Group,

I'd like to create a distribution media that allows my group to do custom
offline installations of cygwin.
I want this distribution to contain EXACTLY what is currently installed on a
master machine, plus ALL the corresponding src packages.

Now, I know that I can have setup to just download stuff to a local
directory.
However, doing that interactively is such a braindead task, so I was hoping
that there's a simpler way.

Can I use setup in unattended mode to do exactly what I've described above?
Perhaps using the information it finds in /etc/setup/installed.db on the
master machine?

H.
