I install cygwin frequently enough that it would be handy to have the process automated. Specifically, I want to be able to specify ahead of time the packages that I want to install, so that I don't have to remember them at install-time. Is there any way to do this?

I don't know if you can script it, but I found a 'how-to' on making a custom package directory and the installer to go with it. This way, you can have all the packages you need and have the installer pre-selected. You can find that article here.

Not exactly what I was looking for, but this would work. I may combine it with apt-cyg.

apt-cyg is similar to what I was looking for, although it requires a pre-existing cygwin install with a few non-default packages.
