Hmm well...
From what I gather the setup calls function set_cygdrive_flags in mount.cc
in my case issytem = true
however
Line 202
status = get_cygdrive_flags (key, &cygdrive_flags);
won't that *always* fail unless the key already exists? We are
installing clean so it will never exist?
Anyway, diff attached - don't know if it is correct or if it works,
usual disclaimers apply ;-)

Ahh...
but hand on... what do the flags actually do?
the flag in HKCU is 22 (binary nounmount)? but when I ran that command
it set the flags in HKLM to 2a
difference being?
