If you want cygwin on an image DVD, just copy an installation to the
disk from which the DVD is made, thereby avoiding setup.  (That is
similar to how I clone my desktop on C: via H: to my laptop - also
on C:.)  Then you just need a script to customize /etc/passwd,
/etc/group, create /home/$user, and maybe re-run some of the scripts
in /etc/postinstall/.

Ideas for updating from a master installation without setup available
upon request.

(I suspect that this method is not supported by this list since setup
is not used.)

Good luck,

- Barry
