Hi List, I have a question, is there a way to clone-install Cygwin? Like I have installed whatever packages I selected on some PC, then maintained that installation for a while, doing upgrades etc. Now I need to install the exact same set on another PC. Can I pull up a list and use it in a sort of a batch install with setup.exe? I want to avoid to dumb-copy the entire C:\cygwin tree from one PC to another, rather use a semi-automatic install procedure from scratch, if possible, using the list of packages that I need. Thanks for all the insights you can provide. Cheers, Anton
attached my solution to re-install or duplicate the packages of an existing installation.
$ ./cyg-reinstall.sh Usage : cyg-reinstall.sh [ -A | -I | -f filelist ] create cyg-reinstall-{ARC}.bat from options -A : All packages as reported by cygcheck -I : incomplete packages as reported by cygcheck -f : packages in filelist (one per row) $ ./cyg-reinstall.sh -A and the batch file is ready $ ls -s cyg-reinstall-x86_64.bat 32K cyg-reinstall-x86_64.bat $ head -c 100 cyg-reinstall-x86_64.batsetup-x86_64.exe -P _autorebase,_autorebase,_update-info-dir,a2ps,adobe-source-code-pro-fonts,adob
