[McGraw, Robert P.] I have looked through the suggested ULR and not finding my answer. I googled genini cygwin, and the perl script pointed me cygwin.com/setup.html, but it is talking about creating software packages. This does not sound like what I need to do. So let me rephrase my question and ask how other people handle this through an example. I need to install the Cygwin/Xserver on multiple machines. I first installed Cygwin & Cygwin/X and all necessary and needed packages from a cygwin server to my WinXP test system. Once I have tested and have it working with the right parameters, I now need to install the same software on multiple machines. I would like to create some kind of bundle or selfextracting file that a user can get and install on their WinXP machine. This will be sure that users have what they need to run the Cygwin/Xserver.
