The command-line options are described here: https://cygwin.com/faq.html#faq.setup.cli and the one you'd need is '-P' (this is a Windows application you'll likely run from cmd, so quoting the arguments can be a hassle: I recommend to have the package list in the form pkg1,pkg2,…,pkgN -- that is no spaces, but separated by comma). You'll only want the manually installed packages, that is the ones that have that flag set in /etc/setup/installed.db -- see this post: https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2023-November/254868.html If you truly want exactly the same set of packages then you can do so as well: https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2015-September/223509.html Regards, Achim. -- +<[Q+ Matrix-12 WAVE#46+305 Neuron microQkb Andromeda XTk Blofeld]>+ Samples for the Waldorf Blofeld: http://Synth.Stromeko.net/Downloads.html#BlofeldSamplesExtra -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
