Sorry, this reply was meant to go the list but I was using a different mail
client and it replied directly.

Cygwin is totally portable! You can simply copy the installation folder to
another PC, copy the shortcut (edit target if needed) and it will work.
I've done this numerous times for this exact reason.
You may also want to copy the package directory and setup log if you want
to update the installation on the clone.

Hi List,
I have a question, is there a way to clone-install Cygwin?
Like I have installed whatever packages I selected on some PC, then
maintained that installation for a while,
doing upgrades etc. Now I need to install the exact same set on another
PC. Can I pull up a list and use it
in a sort of a batch install with setup.exe? I want to avoid to dumb-copy
the entire C:\cygwin tree from one PC to another,
rather use a semi-automatic install procedure from scratch, if possible,
using the list of packages that I need.
Thanks for all the insights you can provide.
Cheers,
Anton
