pmcyg
pmcyg is a tool for creating customized collections of Cygwin packages together with the Cygwin installer. This enables self-contained distributions to be created without having to mirror the entire set of Cygwin packages. For example, it can create a single CD or DVD from which a personalized version of Cygwin can be installed on machines not connected to the Web. A basic installer can be created in less than 20MB, or a user-supplied list of packages can be used with pmcyg, automatically downloading all dependencies needed for the chosen packages. pmcyg can be used either as a command-line script, or via a simple GUI.
