Hi,

I'd like to backup the packages list of my current Cygwin installation, ie 
the config files which list which packages Cygwin got installed.

So that I could take this configuration file(s) to another PC with fresh 
Cygwin installation and get the same Cygwin programs I use on the other PC.
Or for re-installment, for example when the Cygwin folder has been lost.

Which files would I have to backup to achieve that?

Thanks!

-ric
