So once again I ask for clarification. I really do think it's a very
simple and perfectly straightforward question: Does one run those 4
commands in Step 1 from a Windows command prompt or from within Cygwin?
Well, yes, it is a straightforward, but I would have thought the answer was
already obvious from what I stated. Perhaps you need a hand following through
the syllogism:
GIVEN THAT:
A) One runs these 4 commands in step 1.
AND THAT:
B) It doesn't matter if there are cygwin apps running or not until step 2.
THEREFORE IT MUST BE THE CASE THAT:
C) You can do it however the hell you like, using whatever shell you want,
***BECAUSE* "it doesn't matter if there are cygwin apps running or not until
step 2". QED!
A) and B) were explicitly stated in my post. I was kinda expecting you
would derive C) yourself without further prompting.
