Urgh. I hope you know what you're doing...
Yeah, I do trust the Cygwin package maintainers not to overwrite
/Windows or /Users.
Actually that was a reference to C:/bin being a pointer to /usr/bin instead
of /bin In normal installation it is that way plus /usr/bin as symlink to
/bin Not the other way around. (sh is in /bin, with your structure, no way it
could be reached through C:/bin )
Actually, what Andy has is what 'setup.exe' provides if you install in
'C:\'. I have the same thing. So what he has is a "normal installation"
if the user chooses to install in 'C:\'. Also, FWIW, 'setup.exe' does not
create a "symlink" from '/usr/bin' to '/bin'. It only creates the mounts
like what Andy shows above.
