OK, I removed my old cygwin installation (the directory which contains /usr, /bin/, etc.), and re-installed a new version. I kept the "cygwin_package" directory, but setup.exe did not remember my previous installation. In the past I have had to install cygwin on multiple machines, and it would be nice to learn a way to have a file which describes the packages I want to install, rather than having to recall them all. > Actually, that's not what I meant at all.

The good news is a complete re-install of cygwin does work, so I am (almost) up and running :-) Thanks, -Mike
