Re: Clone cygwin-setup settings from one PC to another

Hello,

is it possible to find out which packages installed via SETUP.EXE on
one PC and use
this information (selection) to automatically install the same on
another PC ?

e.g. something like:
   cygsetup > mypacks.ini

setup.exe -install mypacks.ini


Not at all as neatly as this, but after a fashion, sort of:

Save a copy of the /etc/setup/installed.db file, and change all the version numbers in it to 0.
Put the modified version of the file into the correct place on the second computer before starting setup.


Max.
