before the ability to specify on the command line certain packages to
install, and I think that would be a useful feature to have for people
in your situation.
You might be able to kludge it though. If you provided an
/etc/setup/installed.db that listed each desired package with a version
of '0', then setup should see that the package is already installed and
try to upgrade it to the current available version. E.g. place a line
"foo foo-0-0.tar.bz2 0" for each package that you wish to be 'upgraded'
(i.e. installed.) If there are no mounts on the system, though, I'm not
sure if setup will know where to find /etc/setup/, so you might have to
add the mounts before running setup. Since you already know the
location where Cygwin will be installed, that should be feasible.
