Subject: setup.ini for custom distrobution

I'm putting together a modified distrobution of CYGWIN so that I can
easily install just the packages that I want, including some custom
packages. I wrote a script to create the setup.ini, but I'm not yet
satisfied because when I execute setup.exe most of the packages are set
for 'skip'. The setup.exe and setup.ini files are both on a CD and the
packages that I want are in the contrib/latest subdirectories. This is on
the first install, not a reinstall.

How can I write a setup.ini so that it will install everything without
having to click on 40 packages?

If this is a RTFM situation, please show me the Fine Manual.

If it goes well, I might write a doc 'how to create your own cygwin
distro'.

Thanks!

Mike Adler
