How do I do this? man cygpath BASH per se doesn't offer a solution to this issue--it knows only the Unix cocoon of Cygwin. >2) I would like to insert a basic cygwin installation >in the cd.

Use the Cygwin installer ("Setup.exe" -- )--it handles setting up the registry entries used by the Cygwin "kernel" (i.e., Cygwin1.dll). Download the packages you wish to install (use a mirroring tool such as wget, FTP Voyager or the Cygwin Setup.exe installer in "Download from Internet" mode) and burn the resulting files onto the CD you'll use to perform the installations. >Thank you very much in advance! >Marko I hope it helps.
