installing packages using setup.exe from the command line (e.g., remotely)


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.
