There is very little magic here. Cygwin is mainly just a bunch of files on disk. If you back up your c:\cygwin (or whatever) you are most of the way there. In addition, you need to mediate on the documentatio for the "mount" command, paying attention to the "-m" option and the mkpasswd and the mkgroup command. If you are installing services, you will need to install them on every system that you copy this to. -- Christopher Faylor spammer? -> [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cygwin Co-Project Leader [EMAIL PROTECTED] TimeSys, Inc. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
