We have a local mirror of selected packages from which we install

tell
setup to install ALL available packages?

Thanks Lary,
I am not sure what you mean by "empty package" and how do you make it
known to the installer?
If I create a setup.hint and copy it to, say, release\base-files\, will
that work?
This sounds like fooling the installer. I can't believe that there is
nothing like "--InstallAll" option to the setup.exe installer.
