Right. My concern was that people would read it and go "What can't I
install" and we'll get flooded with questions. As the binary mounting
issue only applies to xfree86 _developers_ not users, I suggest that you
either don't mention possible complications and simply state "install
all of cygwin, with the defaults (unless you are an expert user)"

You've got a typo there: creating and "managing" not "manage".

Not yet - this is quite different content to what was there... Suhaib
needs a chance to comment.
