Re: startxwin/XWin won't start properly

OK, I removed my old cygwin installation (the directory which contains/usr,

past I have had to install cygwin on multiple machines, and it would be nice
to learn a way to have a file which describes the packages I want to install,
rather than having to recall them all.

'setup.exe' doesn't remember your previous installations - ones you have removed. There'd be little call for that kind of functionality. 'setup.exe' does allow you to install from a local directory though. So if you keep the directory that contained all the packages you've downloaded previously, you can point 'setup.exe' at this directory and tell it to install everything.
