Re: Clone cygwin-setup settings from one PC to another


Hi,

is it possible to find out which packages installed via SETUP.EXE on
one PC and use this information (selection) to automatically install
the same on another PC ?

Or simply copy the installed.db file, make the package cache available on
the network, do "install from local directory", and set All to
"Reinstall".
Sounds good...

There may even be a command-line option to setup to do this.
You'd still need to replicate any changed configuration files, though...
"may" ? or is there any ?
This would be the key for a distribution system.
So i could save the "installed.db" for some systems according to their station names und start
an sync-script everytime i change something. This script could be started from ssh-bash.


BTW: What is the meaning of the *.lst.gz -files in the /etc/setup folder ?


Mit freundlichen Grüssen,


Oliver Geisen
