No but you can restore the old mount table entries with 'mount'. Before you start, do "mount -m >mntentries.bat". Now install to where you want another version. Afterwards, before you start/restart any Cygwin proggie, run "mntentries.bat" from "cmd.exe". That will restore what you had before the second installation. If you want to keep around the mount points for the second installation, make a backup of those the same way. Good luck! -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
