There was talk about this in the past. I forget where it ended up. But you don't really need a list of packages if you have a local package directory with all the packages you want to install. If some are already installed at the current version, those will be skipped. Of course, doing this through 'ssh' means you need the OpenSSH server to have access to the desktop, assuming you're PCs are < Vista. See the '-i' switch on cygrunsrv. > Optional Question: Is there an official wiki for Cygwin project ? No. The Cygwin site is the place to go for official, supported information. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc. (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office 216 Dalton Rd.
