So you're copying the installation but not the mount table. You're right that won't work. For the time being, you should be able to dump the mount table to a .bat file with "mount -m" and then run the .bat on the system that has the copied installation. This technique probably won't work in Cygwin 1.7.x when it is released, though. cgf -- 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/
