Thanks Joshua. Here are three comments The Root Directory for Cygwin (default C:\cygwin) will become '/' within your Cygwin installation. *** Perhaps add that you must have write access to the parent directory (here c:\) and the inheritances in the acl of the parent will determine the access to the installed files **** All Windows drives can be accessed with the /cygdrive/X/ virtual directory and Cygwin's mount utility. **** That's not setup related. Delete? **** The Install For options of All Users or Just Me are especially for multiuser systems or Domain users. If you have a single-user workstation, this option probably does not concern you. If you are seeking to rollout Cygwin on a large Domain, you will want to think carefully about the implications of each type and possibly consult the Cygwin mailing list archives about others' experiences. **** This option is mysterious and the explanation above does not give any food for thought in "think carefully about the implications". Is it about the mounts in the registry? Anything else? Given that the daemons use the system mounts, wouldn't it be a good idea to set them? **** Pierre
