No clear idea how it happened other than thoughtless fiddling, but I have deleted the file /etc/setup/installed.db. This was for an incomplete system tailored to size and specific requirements, so it would be a real pain to have to recreate it from scratch. Instead, can I recover installed.db? I've tried cygcheck -c but this clearly requires installed.db in the first place, to provide its output. I really really don't want to have to start again ... Thanks. Fergus
