But I just wanted to have what I want installed automatically Not having to go through all the things if i wanted to remove and then install / "reinstall" cygwin. i checked the cygwin FAQ , since before I had only looked at the cygwin user manual. The solution for me is to keep the package directory separate from the cygwin program directory. e.g. c:\cygwin and c:\cygwinpk I Select what I want once, install. That makes my package directory as I want it. I Make a copy of the package directory. Then if i want to install cygwin again, I just remove the cygwin directory copy cygwinpk2 to cygwinpk (oddly does not work from win xp command prompt, but anyhow). And then I install cygwin, telling it to install from local directory, and I point it to my directory with the stuff i want.
Glad you found the solution to your problem in the FAQ. We like when people look there as well as at other documentation. :-) -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
