One recommendation I have is to NOT run if from a flash drive if there is a hard drive install...it can fiddle with stuff that will make the hard drive installed not be correct. Charles Stepp Meskimen's Law: There's never time to do it rite, but there's always time to do it over. -----Original Message----- From: Adam McCarthy [mailto:zeroonetwothree AT gmail DOT com] Sent: Friday, May 09, 2008 7:38 PM To: cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Subject: Installing Cygwin with a USB thumb drive I really enjoy Cygwin and would love to have a portable copy on a thumb drive. I use Cygwin all the time, and obviously I can't install it on every computer I go on, especially since many are not mine. I saw many instructions on the web for doing it, but I wanted to see if their were instructions that were "recommended", I know that likely there will not be an official but I figured at least if it works. Is it fairly easy to install it on a thumb drive? I'm not worried if it's hard or command line, because I've install Gentoo Linux before and have much experience with command line, I just don't want it to screw up current Cygwins on my machines. Most PCs I use it on, will not have Cygwin, but perhaps I need to do something on a PC that already has Cygwin, I don't want it to screw up the local Cygwin.
