Aloha,

I've installed Cygwin on a file server common to a large number of
clients.  This allows various tools and scripts to be run on any
of the clients without cluttering them with their own installations.

Occasionally it would be nice to obtain a quick interactive shell
environment on one of the clients, including having /tmp, /etc and
others in place on the server partition.  Preferrably without leaving
a lasting trace on the client.  Perhaps by invoking a single batch file
from the server partition.

Is there a quick, easy, or already done, way of doing this?


Thanks

Richard
