The current made setup.exe file does not do all i need it to do. I have spent some time looking @ this list and what the setup.exe does so far the best help i have found so far is someone post The final script will be setup so it will add a user/group to 2k/xp and also make the additions to the group and passwd file for cygwin and possilby other things that i need it to do.

The postinstall do they need to be run bash (I assume Yes) 2. I see the setup.exe has option for all/1 user and the dos/unix where would i set these? 3. does the \cygdive mounting happen automaticly? or is this run in the setup.exe? 4. dealing with the dos/unix default text type. if set to dos, should all txt file editing be done via windows, whereas if unix all text file editing should be done in unix? -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
