I've been using cygwin for a while but one question I've got is this.  I've found that the file /etc/installed.db lists all of the cygwin components that are installed.  I've had to rebuild my laptop due to hard drive failures a couple of times and now have received a new laptop.  Is there a way to have cygwin's setup.exe install the components that are on my existing laptop automatically without having to pick through the list and through trial and error re-install the parts I missed?  Thanks.

Regards,
Brad
