Whoops! Missed that.
However, the mounts should be saved *inside* uninstall.bat, using a
Windows path. :-)
Also, since you're *uninstalling* Cygwin, the mounts should go into a
.bat, not a .sh, with a more suggestive name...
------ BEGIN gen-uninst.sh ------
#!/bin/sh
CYGDIR="`/bin/cygpath -aw /`"
cat > /uninstall.bat <<EOF
$CYGDIR\\bin\\mount -m > %TEMP%\\restore-mounts.bat
$CYGDIR\\bin\\umount -s -A
$CYGDIR\\bin\\umount -A
copy $CYGDIR\\bin\\cygwin1.dll $CYGDIR\\bin\\regtool.exe %TEMP%
copy $CYGDIR\\saved-mounts.sh %TEMP%
$CYGDIR\\bin\\rm -rf /
del /s $CYGDIR
%TEMP%\\regtool remove "/HKLM/Software/Cygnus Solutions"
%TEMP%\\regtool remove "/HKCU/Software/Cygnus Solutions"
del %TEMP%\\cygwin1.dll %TEMP%\\regtool.exe
echo Cygwin is now un-installed.
echo To restore the mounts later, run %TEMP%\\restore-mounts.bat
EOF
------- END gen-uninst.sh -------
HTH,
Igor
