Hi,

Just add a "virtual" package in your setup.ini in the "Base" category
that depends on the packages you need.

I think there is no way to tell Cygwin to install "every packages in the
local directory" on the command-line mode.

Be careful, the setup.ini is erased with a fresh one each time you
launch "install from internet".

Here is mine:

@ bidon
sdesc: "Paquet bidon."
category: Base
requires: unzip zip gawk gzip tar sed ed vim perl python email mutt lftp
openssh rsync less bzip2 wget patch cadaver autossh stunnel curl a2ps
cron file ioperm lynx nano patchutils psutils shutdown tcp_wrappers time
util-linux whois pcre ping zsh psmisc procps
version: 0.0.1-1
source: ...

You'll have to create the "source:" line with the size in byte and the
md5sum of a "fake" package, in my example
"release/bidon/bidon-0.0.1-1.tar.bz2". It has to be a real file because
setup.exe checks the md5 signature during the parsing of setup.ini.
