Inetd *needs a mount table* - just as with Unix systems.

In fact cygwin is more flexible that some Unices. I suggest that your core
(/, /usr/bin, /usr/lib, /etc) mounts be system and then the rest can be user
or system at your choice.

DJ - perhaps setup should default to 'install for all' ? (If it doesn't
already)
