Assuming that the mounts are the same, that should be enough to run most applications (fileutils, etc.). I use a `lite' Cygwin installation on our customer's machines, mostly to make my job easier, but occasionally to script something for a customer. The customer's machines are usually very close to identical from one installation to another, which helps a lot. The only issue I've had is that our latest machines are based on WinXP Embedded, which is on a read-only flash card, so that registry modifications are not persistent across reboots. I haven't put my 'lite' Cygwin installation on any such machine yet, nor have I played around with one yet, but I suppose I'll have to run the mount script from any scripts I may write on such machines (shouldn't present a problem). -- <bozo string deleted> -- 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/
