Re: Cygwin Environment from ThumbDrive

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
