I recently did this at work by backing up the C:\cygwin directory, my Windows user profile directory and manually creating the directory path C:\cygwin\etc\setup, then copying C:\cygwin\etc\setup\installed.db to the new computer, running the installer, and changing the install method from "Default"

Re: best way to re-install and keep cygwin configuration

So I will just tar up the cygwin directory and put it back after the new install. If I download a new copy of setup.exe and point it at the install directory, will it figure out what packages are already installed? I suppose I could test this sort of thing, but I figure that someone already kno

Not sure if the following will work, but couldn't you use something like: Old machine: cygcheck -cd package_list.log New machine: setup --packages < package_list.log You would have to copy your home directory and possibly massage the input data. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/prob

I am getting ready to re-install XP and I would like to avoid having to completely redo my cygwin install. Is there a way to export the current settings (installed packages, etc) and then re-import it after re-install? I was thinking of just copying my cygwin_install directory that has setup.e

Hi! I have downloaded and installed cygwin on a windows XP machine. I have used Johan Faxer's document on configuring cygwin. Why don't my commands like ls -la work? How can I make sure that unix commands in the cygwin bash shell work normally? How do I place cygwin/bin in the winXP path? Might t
