In order to do that, I have simply zipped the entire c:\cygwin directory , put it on a cd, and unzipped it on the other computer. Unfortunately, this does not seem to be enough ( the cygwin simply doesn't run ). My question is: what are the settings required by cygwin to operate normally? ( i guess it needs some environment variables and/or registry settings ).
