Has anyone experimented with methods for creating more than one useable installation of cygwin on a single workstation?
I'm thinking of one install tree that is regarded as stable or production; another as unstable, where software
development is happening.
 
Sorry if this has been discussed before, but the mailing list search fuction is currently not available.
 
It seems conceptually that this should work all right, as long as the installs are using a single shared copy of the
cygwin dll .
 
True, or not true?
 
Thanks,
 
James R. Phillips
