Re: Installing a "copy" of an installation on a new computer

Hi,

I found the following

which might provide one practical solution. Will try this.

Thanks for the vote of confidence but since that was a fairly labor intensive way of doing it and came at a time when 'setup.exe' wasn't as equipped as it is today to handle this more directly, I would no longer advocate going that route. Using 'setup.exe' at the command line and specifying the packages you want is a better way to go.

PS To avoid getting bounced by the MAILER-DAEMON I have removed the
original message.

Thanks. Including the pointer to the original email is definitely the preferred alternative here.
