hi,
I need to save the list of installed packages, to:
1) reinstall Cygwin on the same system
or
2) made the same custom Cygwin installation on another system

Is there an easy method equivalent to the Debian distribution:

To save:
$ dpkg --get-selections > installedPackagesDate.txt

To recover:
# dpkg --set-selections < installedPackagesDate.txt && apt-get dselect-upgrade

thanks,
Valerio
