Does the selection of unix / dos at installation time actually make any difference?
Can't everything be redefined later via the mount command? I selected DOS at install time, is there an advanteage to installing in unix mode?

I am encountering different behaviour between a few machines with regards to CR LFs. I am trying to work my way through it but it is quite perplexing! I need to do more investigations in order to ask a decent question, but do the mount settings effect the behaviour of any non-cygwin application? I would not expect any effect, is that so?

Thanks,

Jason
