I'm looking for a way to do the following:

- When installing cygwin - tell it a list of packages to install
(perhaps from commandline or a script). Is this possible - without
going through the list in the setup.exe GUI?

- If cygwin is already installed - run some comand line tool/script -
which looks for missing cygwin packages - and grabs and installs them.

I'd appreciate any info on this topic.

Thanks,
Satish
