You will have to format the stick to NTFS, and run rebaseall for each time you insert your stick into a new system, which defeats the very idea of having a "portable Cygwin" - it will always be tied to a specific system. > Is there really no portable version to download? > What if I install it once one computer and copy all the files to my USB flash > drive? > Are there any disadvantages? It may just break at the least predictable moment. Some tools may freak about permissions being wrong (for those per-user entries in the /home directory). Some may simply crash due to changed address layout. This is simply not feasible, IMO. -- With best regards, Andrey Repin Sunday, November 14, 2021 18:47:12 Sorry for my terrible english... -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
