Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask this question.
I'm thinking of installing cygwin on a common drive so that my department
has single-point, common access. (Just to be a little over-explanatory
here, my definition of a common drive is a vob in ClearCase. On NT, when a
vob is mounted, it looks and acts like a separate hard drive.)
What caveats am I going to experience?
- is there any registry entries other then mount points?
- other than modification of path, is there any other
environment considerations?
- I'm assuming because of GPL licensing, I won't get
into legal problems by adding cygwin to a repository.
(I do know of some products that do not allow you to
add them to a multi-site repository, so I'm just
checking.)
- any other considerations that I can't think of right now?
Thanks all for your help.
