RE: For the adventurous: cygwin/latest/newsetup

["Jeff Jensen" <jeffjensen at nospam dot visi dot com>]

Thanks Chris, here is the info:

Setup: Rev 1.25, built 4/21 @11:31.
OS: Win 95 SR2 (I haven't tried on my NT Wks machine yet)
Mount output:
Device           Directory           Type        Flags
\                c:                  native      text!=binary
C:               /                   native      text!=binary

Root dir: No, the install target directory was not empty as I accepted the
default of [c:\] as the root, as I did as my mount for b20.  It placed many
bin files in /bin, created /lib, /usr, and /usr w/files (and subdirs in
/usr).  An ls -lR will give you my whole drive...so that infers:
Should the target install dir be a separate dir off DOS root, as was done by
setup in b20?  When I have a chance later, I will install to a separate dir
to see if that changes any results.

Please provide the version of setup that you were running, the version of
the Windows OS you're using, a copy of your mount table (which you get
by typing "mount").

FYI, setup prints the build date and version every time it runs.

You were installing into a new, empty directory, right?  It would also
be useful to see the results of a "ls -lR" in the directory that you
were making your "root".
