Assuming you are using Cygwin 1.7 I've created a script for myself, that allows me to make a stripped down install cmd that would reinstall all packages that I had installed, see: http://kitsu.ru/cygwin-reinstall-cmd.py It has mirror and cygwin directory names hard coded (change them to what you use), and prints out commands that you can redirect to e.g. cygwin-reinstall.cmd. Unless you have way too many packages it should also fit into Windows command line limit... -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
