Hi. Solely for the purpose of using Unison, I've done Cygwin installs on over 50 WInXP desktops. However, the other day I ran into a problem, which exposed my Unix inexperience. I tried to install Cygwin on an XP desktop that was part of a Windows Domain, as a result it put the users "home" in someplace I don't understand. I did some research and was confronted with all kinds of "mkpasswd" commands that supposedly remedy the situation but nothing worked. I want to install Cygwin and NOT keep any files or home directories on the Windows Server, I want everything self-contained in the XP desktop. I want the users home right where it always is. Too complicate things the system is actually a laptop so when in the office they are "on the domain" but when traveling they are "not". I tried installing "without having a network connection" but that didn't help. Can someone who has experience installing Cygwin on a WinXP desktop part of a Windows Domain let me know what to do? Again, the only reason I am installing Cygwin is to run Unison.
