Replicate packages from 32-bit machine on 64-bit machine

When I wanted to replicate my cygwin installation from a 32-bit machine to another 32-bit machine, it was straightforward. I would simply reinstall all installed packages, but have the downloaded packages got to a folder which I then burn to CD. However, my next machine is a 64-bit machine. So I

I recently installed cygwin64 in my windows 8.1 (like 3 days ago) and tried a program that has also worked in Linux and cygwin32, but it didn't work properly. So, I uninstalled the 64 and installed the 32, and it worked flawlessly. I have no idea why, but you could try the 32-bit instead. HTH,

Bash uses lseek while reading from serial device

I've encountered a problem where bash will use lseek to seek backwards on a serial device. This results in data being lost when large chuncks of data are being read at once. This doesn't happen when reading from a pipe, so it appears that bash is unable to detect that serial devices are unseekabl
