Re: /usr vanished


I think I now know how /usr vanished.  While doing something with
/cygwin via Windows, a faulty mouse motion moved /cygwin/usr to
another directory under /cywin/c .  /usr was still there but invisible
to me.  (I should have run a giant 'find' or such to locate it, but
didn't.)

I found the hidden /usr *only after downloading /cygin from scratch*.
Because I backed up (or rather just renamed the old /cygwin to be
/cyglose ) I now have the choice of which download to use!

If I can complain a little, I found the download defaults to be
faulty.  Tiny standard packages like 'bc', 'more' and some others
should be loaded by default.
