Maybe will have to try an early edition assuming I can find a semi-fast mirror that carries the test versions. > > > I'm also not quite clear on the purpose of the 1st mount as > it seems > > to mount on top of itself unlike the second 2 mounts. > > To force binary mode, in case the root mounts are textmode. --- Ah...textmode -- just sounds dangerous for a mount. > You may verify that they are indeed both included in the > Cygwin perl package, by looking in /etc/setup/perl.lst.gz. --- THAT's where they install Db is....I wondered about that.

Seems like there's a lot more chaos and incompatibilities in the closed-source MS world than in linux...but I guess that's a side effect of every vendor writing their own install system and no single public 'spec' 'install' type system to reference or improve on and a large vacuum of public, published specifications and information that everyone tries to work around.
