Should setup work when /tmp is a mount?

With a recent new system, I found that setup was aborting, generating neither error message nor /var/log/setup.log* output. After a little messing around, I found that my mount point for /tmp was cuasing the problem. After umount(ing) /tmp, setup worked again. Should this (/tmp being a mounted d

Is CYGWIN_ROOT still there?

I'm trying to put togethor a windows version of a (unix) GNU-type package. I've run into a problem that the DOS CYGWIN_ROOT parameter does not seem to want to work at least on an XP machine -- no matter what I do it seems to be set to /cygwin (or a different location if that is how setup was run).

Re: Really big files?

If I wanted to troubleshoot this, how would I do it? I imagine strace would produce an unbelievable amount of output. ie. dd fails after 35 million read/write pairs. Also, what package is dd in? If I do try this I will only be able to make one debug pass per day because of how slow the dd runs.
