Any way to pass it via a command line to setup.exe? No built-in method. I seem to remember that one can create a custom setup.ini, but maybe that was really for another purpose. Check the archives. Note that setup can automatically update, without user (or mouse) intervention, packages that are already installed. Again, check the archives. > As a separate idea, I could just untar the package manually and run > the post install scripts by hand.

If you do this, you will be on your own. setup also creates a mount table, so you should try to run it at least once.
Setup.exe: Installing Packages
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Is there any way to install individual packages other than the package selection menu? I personally am quite mouse impaired and wanna use the keyboard to do such things. Any way to pass it via a command line to setup.exe? As a separate idea, I could just untar the package manually and run the post install scripts by hand. Do you think that would be my best bet since I can't use the selection menu in its present form?
