  Oh, and P.P.s:  copying the directory tree from one machine to another
gets you most of the way there, but there won't be any mount points in the
registry.  The first time you run a cygwin app it should create the default
set of mounts for /, /usr/bin and /usr/lib, but the best thing of all would
be to run "mount -m > mount-cmds.bat" on the source machine before you copy
the dir tree across and then run the batch file on the target machine when
you get the files there (will need you to have cygwin's /bin folder in the
win32 path at first).  Alternatively you could use regedit to export the
HKLM/Software/Cygnus Solutions and HKCU/Software/Cygnus solutions trees to
.reg files, and double-click them on the target machine to install them.



    cheers,
