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.
