Cygwin Environment from ThumbDrive

Rate this Message:
How possible would it be to:
1) Install a Cygwin environment into a Thumbdrive, including /home, /usr etc. 2) With the help of some crafty shell scripts, be available from most Windows boxes by plugging the thumb drive in and running the environment from there? Thanx Julian |

I concentrated on Cygwin sites and did not do a general Google. The answer there is not what I want anyway, they suggest copying to the local machine and that is mostly doable, I would prefer to keep my own installation on my thumbdrive so that I can keep it clean and up to date.
I will investigate the option presented by the person with the mount script, that looks interesting. Not sure about the %d0 thingy will look into it. Thanx Bodger

How's it supposed to work? It works only in a batch file... (and the batch file has to be on the USB drive) Thorsten -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ |
