Is it possible to install cygwin in such a way that it can be run reliably from a thumbdrive? If so, how much of a minimal installation should be performed? I have a 64MB on my thumbdrive that I can safely allocate to using with cygwin if such a task were possible. As to how to perform the installation. Would I simply run the setup program and direct the installer to install the files to a directory on the thumbdrive itself? Would any problems arise from running cygwin from the thumbdrive since the drive letter changes depending on which machine it is plugged into? If so, any ideas on how to get around such a problem? -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
