Moving Cygwin

[mschneider]

If i wanted to move the cygwin program from one computer to another without downloading and re-installing it would i just go into the C:/ drive and drag the cygwin folder over to a flash drive and then move it? or would more have to be done?

If you exported Cygwin's registry values from the windows registry, moved the C:\cygwin to the new computer, and then imported the registry values, that would work.

Just install the base cygwin on the new PC, and then copy the C:\cygwin over, I think that should work, and be easier than finding those registry values.
