Subject: Running Cygwin's "setup.exe" on a new computer
Date: Tue, 01 Sep 2015 12:50:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <21989.40723.827300.907850@woitok.gmail.com> (raw)

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

PS:  Please also reply  by personal mail  as I am not  subscribed to the
Cygwin mailing list.
