Problems with Cygwin Installer

I have run into this problem the Cygwin install many times and wish to know if I am doing something wrong or if there is a bug of some kind. The Problem: I download the the setup.exe and run it. I choose either the "Install from internet" or the "Download without installing" options, pick

cygwin installer/setup via commandline/scripts

I'm looking for a way to do the following: - When installing cygwin - tell it a list of packages to install (perhaps from commandline or a script). Is this possible - without going through the list in the setup.exe GUI? - If cygwin is already installed - run some comand line tool/script - which
