seems that -P accept one package a time.
Example:
> setup -M -P arj ash atk ...
install only arj
This is trange as documentation say "packages"

Running the setup.exe for each package, download:
- the mirrors.lst
- the setup.bz2
once for each run. Not an optimal solution

More, the -q option open anyway the install windows on top of other windows 
and get focus. This is noisy as busy the PC while the installation finish.
With -q I cannot get to install a single package, as seems it does not select 
the dependancies.

Work with a single package using -M, but this require user interaction, doing 
that for hundreds package is not feasible.

Suggestions?
