Basically, it lets me carry Cygwin on a USB stick and it does not care what drive letter it's attached as. Note also that USB sticks are slowwww, so it's just for emergencies :-) Ralph --------------010101010700010608030805 Content-Type: text/plain; name="usbCygwin.txt" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Disposition: inline; filename="usbCygwin.txt" QEVDSE8gT0ZGDQpSRU0gLS0tLS0tLS0tLS0tLS0tLS0tLS0tLS0tLS0tLS0t LS0tLS0tLS0tLS0tLS0tLS0tLS0tLS0tLS0tLS0tLS0tLS0tLS0tLS0tLS0N ClJFTSBCYXRjaCBmaWxlIHRvIHN0YXJ0IEN5Z3dpbiBvbiBhcmJpdHJhcnkg ZHJpdmUgbGV0dGVycw0KDQpTRVRMT0NBTA0KICBGT1IgL0YgJSVEIElOICgi JUNEJSIpIERPIFNFVCBDWUdEUklWRT0lJX5kRA0KDQpSRU0gLS0gQ2hlY2sg aWYgd2UndmUgYWxyZWFkeSBtb2RpZmllZCB0aGUgZnN0YWIgZm9yIHRoaXMg ZHJpdmUgbGV0dGVyDQogIElGICIlQ1lHRFJJVkUlIj09IiVDWUdXSU5fRFJJ VkUlIiBHT1RPIDpET05FDQoNClJFTSAtLSBDaGVjayBpZiB0aGUgb3JpZ2lu YWwgZnN0YWIgaGFzIGJlZW4gYmFja2VkIHVwDQogIElGIEVYSVNUICVDWUdE UklWRSVcY3lnd2luVGVzdFxldGNcZnN0YWIub3JpZ2luYWwgR09UTyBNQUtF RlNUQUINCiAgICBjb3B5ICVDWUdEUklWRSVcY3lnd2luVGVzdFxldGNcZnN0 YWIgJUNZR0RSSVZFJVxjeWd3aW5UZXN0XGV0Y1xmc3RhYi5vcmlnaW5hbA0K DQpSRU0gLS0gU2V0IHVwIHRoZSBkZWZhdWx0IGZzdGFiDQo6TUFLRUZTVEFC DQogIGVjaG8gIyBDdXN0b20gZnN0YWIgZm9yIHJlbW92YWJsZSBtZWRpYSAg ICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgID4gICVDWUdEUklWRSVcY3lnd2luVGVzdFxldGNc ZnN0YWINCiAgZWNobyAjIFNlZSAvY3lnd2luL2V0Yy9mc3RhYi5vcmlnaW5h bCBmb3IgZGVmYXVsdHMgICAgICA+PiAgJUNZR0RSSVZFJVxjeWd3aW5UZXN0 XGV0Y1xmc3RhYg0KICBlY2hvICVDWUdEUklWRSUvY3lnd2luVGVzdCAgICAg LyAgICAgICAgbnRmcyBiaW5hcnkgMCAwID4+ICAlQ1lHRFJJVkUlXGN5Z3dp blRlc3RcZXRjXGZzdGFiDQogIGVjaG8gJUNZR0RSSVZFJS9jeWd3aW5UZXN0 L2JpbiAvdXNyL2JpbiBudGZzIGJpbmFyeSAwIDAgPj4gICVDWUdEUklWRSVc Y3lnd2luVGVzdFxldGNcZnN0YWINCiAgZWNobyAlQ1lHRFJJVkUlL2N5Z3dp blRlc3QvbGliIC91c3IvbGliIG50ZnMgYmluYXJ5IDAgMCA+PiAgJUNZR0RS SVZFJVxjeWd3aW5UZXN0XGV0Y1xmc3RhYg0KDQpyZW0gLS0gU3RhcnQgdXAg dGhlZGVmYXVsdCBzaGVsbA0KICBjaGRpciAlQ1lHRFJJVkUlXGN5Z3dpblRl c3RcYmluDQogIGJhc2ggLS1sb2dpbiAtaQ0KDQpFTkRMT0NBTA0KDQo6RE9O RQ0KDQpSRU0gV2UncmUgZG9uZSB3aXRoIHRoZSBsb2NhbCB2YXJpYWJsZXMs IGJ1dCByZW1lbWJlciB0byBzZXQNClJFTSBhIHZhcmlhYmxlIHRoYXQgdGVs bHMgdXMgdGhlIGRyaXZlIEN5Z3dpbiBpcyBydW5uaW5nIG9uDQoNCiAgU0VU IENZR1dJTl9EUklWRT0lQ1lHRFJJVkUlDQoNCkVYSVQgL0IgMA0K --------------010101010700010608030805 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii -- 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/ --------------010101010700010608030805--
