Do some research into running setup.exe from the command line. You can feed any number of options to pre answer all of the questions setup asks. I have two scripts that I use once cygwin is installed. one answers everything except shows me the package selector screen so I can install new packages if needed. I have another that just updates what is there, no questions asked. I use my cygwin as a client so there are no server apps to configure, etc. This works for me Nicholas is right, the setup is supposed to remember those answers for you, but I don't prefer to be asked the question at all. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
