I would like create a customized version of cygwin which includes Perl TK, some perl utilities of my own, some other extras like Tk::FileDialog and the like. I would like to be able to package that up, then install this with a script similar to setup.exe on other computers. I had a look at the setup.exe script: I cannot customize it as it is binary code. My question is: is there any way to create a customized version of cygwin, then use an install script that installs cygwin properly on any other computer (Win NT, 2000 and XP). This would include creating the mount points and executing the mkpasswd -l > etc/password and mkgroup -l >/etc/group commands and whatever else is needed to install cygwin properly. Perhaps one way of resolving this is finding the source code for setup.exe. If I know what setup.exe does to install cygwin properly, perhaps I can create my own script that does the same for the customized version of cygwin I would like to install. Can anyone help me out with this? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
