Hi Fergus,
thank you for your response. It was three month ago, when I tried your
recipee, so my remembrance migth be a little vague. I don't have a
Cygwin USB stick available at the moment to reproduce the problem I
encountered instantly. But I will sure try it again as soon as
possible.
AFAIR:
- I wanted to use / test the Cygwin installation from my USB stick
working on W2K under a restricted account (i.e. no admin rigths)
- A cygwin installation existed on one of the hard disks which had
been performed as admin for all accounts on that system.
- Trying to unmount the existing cygwin drives, I was told not to
have the needed admin rigths.
I'll be back
Martin
