Where can I find out exactly what tasks setup.exe performs? I gathered
from the FAQ that it creates the mount tables in the registry,
shortcuts, start menu folder, cygwin root and directories. What else am
I missing? For example, it must call some other scripts to create and
mount the tmp dir. I also see a shell come up that looks as if it runs
something to do with /etc/passwd.

Thank you.
