Hello.
One of the simple method to install a fresh clone of the existing Cygwin's
installation is such a way:
Create a new Cygwin root install directory and etc/setup subdirectories in it,
copy therein the /etc/setup/installed.db file from the master installation you
want to clone. Then launch set

Rather revealing them...
The procedure is still to grab the current setup, make package selection,
download with satisfying the dependencies, then install on a bunch of
boxes in the batch mode, unattended.

Well, that's a trivial option with open source, of course. But also

Some random suggestions...
I am sure this has been suggested before, but I think it would be an
'added convenience' if there were a link to the creating setup.exe
made in the start menu next to the "bash shell" link. I created one
and have found it to be very useful. It might be a good addition

Hello,
after installation of the newest cygwin release I cannot make a small
swig-program example which worked before.
I am not sure what of the many reinstalled cygwin components is responsible
for that, but I suppose that you test it and recompile it in the case of
need.

Good idea.
I found Setup a real pain to understand, but once run several times, I found
that it does the job very well.
I would ask for -:
A Help button or a readme to say what it does ( what are the radio buttons
for?)
Something to say what on earth 'default' means!

Garth,
FYI: Setup currently uses a set of static resource files for its dialogs.
The setup developers have adopted a model where all the dialogs have the
same size, and are drawn in the same window (IIRC, I may be mistaken).

I greatly enjoy and apprieciate using the Cygwin
system. I find it to be an extremely useful and
important software.
I have a few suggestions on how it could be further
improved.
