Greetings,
having installed Cygwin on my old computer it's now time to move to new
hardware. Are there any Cygwin configuration or status files I could
copy from the old box to the new one which would cause "setup.exe" on
the new machine to automatically install the same packages as on the old
computer (except for version changes or new dependencies)?
One minor additional problem perhaps: the old box is 32 bit, while the
new one is 64 bit.
Any help welcome.
Sincerely,
Rainer

something like this should work
$ cygcheck -cd | awk 'BEGIN{printf("setup-x86_64.exe ")} {if (NR>2) {
printf ("-P " $1 " ") }} END { printf ("\r\n pause ")}' >
cyg-install-x86_64.bat
$ chmod +x cyg-install-x86_64.bat
Of course copy the "cyg-install-x86_64.bat" where the
"setup-x86_64.exe" is on the new computer.
Regards
Marco
