You should probably try searching the mailing list.  Every couple of months
there is a thread started by someone who wants an automatic install.  Also,
http://cygwin.com/faq/faq_2.html#SEC21 (and
http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin-apps/package-server.html) might help.
Also, look for command line control of setup -- it might be able to do what
you want.

I don't know if this is the cause, but you are sure to have problems with
your mount table if you install as you have described.  Run
	$ mount -m
on a machine that was installed by setup, and then run the output of that,
e.g., (this is what I get -- you will probably get something different.)
	mount -f -u -b "c:/cygwin/bin" "/usr/bin"
	mount -f -u -b "c:/cygwin/lib" "/usr/lib"
	mount -f -u -b "c:/cygwin" "/"
	mount -u -b --change-cygdrive-prefix "/"
on the machine that gave you the error.  If the error goes away, you've
fixed it.  Even if it does not go away, you will still need to run the mount
commands on the machines that you are installing on.

You might also trying running
	> gawk --help
to see if the problem might have something to do with the resolution of
symbolic links.

Subject: Trouble running awk & deployment of Cygwin

Hello everyone,

I ran into a problem with Cygwin whilst trying to run awk.  I get the 
error:
The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction.
CS:080c IP:554c OP:63 69 66 69 65 Choose 'Close' to terminate the 
application

This happens when running it in any form including trying to get the 
version: awk --version

I don't know if this has any bearing on it but this particular version 
of Cygwin was downloaded on one machine and I copied the Cygwin folder 
on to the machine I am having this error on.
I intend on putting Cygwin on Windows machines using an install process 
and modifying registry entries as needed.

I need suggestions and gotchas on doing this.  It is for deployment  
for software we developed.  After having several different problems I 
finally imported another user's registry and it started working for the 
most part.

I would appreciate tips or a place where there is a guide of some type 
on deploying Cygwin in a non-interactive install process.  We want the 
install to occur without user intervention.

Thanks for all your help in advance,

Robert Pollard
