saving list of packages
hi, I need to save the list of installed packages, to: 1) reinstall Cygwin on the same system or 2) made the same custom Cygwin installation on another system Is there an easy method equivalent to the Debian distribution: To save: $ dpkg --get-selections installedPackagesDate.txt To recover: # dpkg --set-selections installedPackagesDate.txt apt-get dselect-upgrade thanks, Valerio -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

Re: saving list of packages
From: marco.atz...@gmail.com 2) see ./setup --help at setup -P seems that -P accept one package a time. Example: setup -M -P arj ash atk ... install only arj This is trange as documentation say packages Running the setup.exe for each package, download: - the mirrors.lst - the setup.bz2 once for each run. Not an optimal solution More, the -q option open anyway the install windows on top of other windows and get focus. This is noisy as busy the PC while the installation finish. With -q I cannot get to install a single package, as seems it does not select the dependancies. Work with a single package using -M, but this require user interaction, doing that for hundreds package is not feasible. Suggestions?
