Hello to all:

My question is how do I get an archive of what cygwin packages I have 
installed. I have googled and only find info on how to do a full backup 
of the tree. I did a bit of a hunt through the cygwin email archives but 
only found one tidbit about "something used to work but doesn't now".

I would like to capture the info in a file. Whether it can be used in an 
install on a new machine is academic (though that would be nice). I just 
want a record in case I have to do a new install and want to know what I 
had before.

Thanks in advance,
Paul
