Yup, did that.  In fact, I deleted the whole /etc/setup tree, saving
only the things like /etc/passwd that I didn't want to recreate.

QUESTION: What should the "flags" value be in the Windows Registry
for the binary system mount points.  I have "0x0000000A (10)" based
on copying one that appeared correct.

Today, once again, the result was installing everything into the
black hole.  My /bin is empty, my /usr/% is empty.  My /head, I'm
not too sure about. 
Have a good weekend!
