However if you do this, dont expect to get much (if any) support from this list. > -----Original Message----- > From: John [mailto:lists AT reiteration DOT net] > Sent: 09 May 2003 12:12 > To: cygwin AT cygwin DOT com > Subject: cygwin and windows registry > > > Quick query: is there a method to make cygwin portable?
