> This means either installing Cygwin in the root directory of the drive > that you'll commonly be working in with both Windows and Cygwin tools Speaking of which, it would be nice if setup.exe warned about doing this only once when you first decide to install in the root directory. Currently it warns every single time it's invoked, even though it's too late too change its location once you have installed it there. I've got several root directory Cygwin installs on both XP and Vista, and they're working fine. I understand there's a small risk of conflicts with other apps that might install Unix-like directories, and an even smaller risk of erroneous Cygwin packages clobbering files elsewhere. I'm happy to deal with that, and the reminder on every update really isn't necessary.
