I will create the wiki page, but I am also unsure of all of the available options.

If I do "setup -h" I get a setup.log in the local directory containing:

Ending cygwin install

PS. I think having two "assigned tos" will defeat a normal operation of Trac reports, so I've moved Hayashi-san to the cc list.

Ok thanks Frank. I have documented the options at http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/wiki/CommandLine

Note that if I try -h with the original cygwin setup.exe the output is sent correctly to the Command window, and also to setup.log.full (our installer does not send the ouput to the Command window).
