Hi!

----

I tried to install Cygwin on a network share using the UNC path name
(e.g. \\derfwnb4966_ipv4 AT 2049\nfs4\storagetek\cygwintest001\), but got
this response: "The install directory must be absolute, with both a
drive letter and leading slash, like C:\Cygwin" ...
... is it possible to remove this restriction, so Cygwin can be
installed into UNC paths, please ?

----

Bye,
Roland
