Well, what precisely IS my Cygwin installation? Only the stuff in "C:\
cygwin\"? And how does Cygwin's "setup.exe" know which version of what
is already installed? Does it only look in "C:\cygwin\" to determine
that? What are the "setup.ini" files under "C:\Users\Admin\Downloads\
cygwin\" used for?
Sincerely
Rainer
