I was just shutting everything down, going to c:\cygwin and untarring from msysGit. But apparently that's not correct because now I have stuff in C:\cygwin\usr\bin . Feature request: would it be possible to make the -inst snapshots not depend on the mounts so you could just untar them from cmd/winrar/7zip/msys? -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
