Uh, I was only thinking of the Cygwin-specific registry keys. Oh, and I'm only talking about Cygwin 1.7. For Cygwin 1.5 you have to duplicate the registry mount points using `mount -m'. For the service, you should reinstall them the official way using the config scripts. You can't just copy the service registry keys and expect the target SCM to know about them. SCM doesn't accept services which aren't installed via SCM, or at least are available when the system starts up. So, at least, If you really copy these registry entries, you must reboot the machine afterwards.
