I've looked around the Cygwin site for information on installation that doesn't use the supplied setup.exe, and I've found a lot of "you on your own" so I'm hoping to get some help here. Thanks!
What so wrong with setup.exe?
I am doing a similar cygwin roll out at my work site and I use setup.exe. It can be run with command line switches so that it does not prompt the user and installs/updates automatically. Then you just define you own custom package, add it to Base group and make it depend on all the pacakges you want installed by default.
See http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin-apps/package-server.html
By staying with setup.exe your installation process will update as Cygwin does.
