I've found snipets of information, such as this:
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2003-03/msg00526.html
What I would like is an example of how to use setup.exe from the command line
(e.g., via ssh) to install a package remotely.
I've tried this:
setup -D -s ftp://mirrors.kernel.org -R $CYGWIN_HOME -q -n wget
which does not produce any errors, but it also doesn't seem to download or
install the package.
I am using setup.exe version 2.427 (is there some way to confirm this from the
command line?)
A simple usage example of using setup.exe to install a package from the command
line would suffice, I think.
Thank you.
