Hi,

I'm replicating a Cygwin installation to about 100 developer
machines here. The tar approach is cute, but slow.

I'm using robocopy, part of the "Windows 2000 Resource Kit",
to mirror the trees. Robocopy is very fast when there's nothing
to do, much faster than rsync, for example.

But: The rebase-problem still beats me. If I "rebaseall" in the
"reference installation" and than copy that to another machine,
nothing works. Rebasing again on the other machine doesn't help,
either. So I'm keeping a non-rebased copy as "reference
installation"
and "rebaseall" on the workstations ...

Any ideas?

BTW - Thanks for a great product!(tm)

Cheers,
	Jan.
