Is it just the mount points that are the issue? The path? The desktop icon? It is possible to run setup against such an 'installation' to update it?
It's primarily just the mount points. See Corinna's message in this thread for recreating them.
The desktop & start menu icons are obviously not going to be present with this method, but that's not really an issue. It should be noted that cygwin.bat has a full path in it, so this would need editing.
Yes, you could run setup with this - it is, for all intents and purposes, the installation you made with setup on the other machine. Setup doesn't care that it's now on a different machine. None of what it does is machine-specific.
What about chere and services such as sshd and the like?
Seems to me there is a short list, having a documented method or even a script to settle in a moved cygwin directory on a new system may be useful. I would presume this would be significantly faster than reinstalling on multiple systems.
