Yup, did that. In fact, I deleted the whole /etc/setup tree, saving
only the things like /etc/passwd that I didn't want to recreate.
QUESTION: What should the "flags" value be in the Windows Registry
for the binary system mount points. I have "0x0000000A (10)" based
on copying one that appeared correct.
Today, once again, the result was installing everything into the
black hole. My /bin is empty, my /usr/% is empty. My /head, I'm
not too sure about.
Have a good weekend!
