What I mean is this: are all the Windows versions that Cygwin supports
looking for the hosts and other files in
%windir%\system32\drivers\etc
or are there some versions, situations or configurations where it looks for
those files in a different place?
That the postinstall for base-files has worked until 2.4.0 seems to indicate
that the place is always the same, but the absence of a bug report is not
the same as positive confirmation.
Regards,
Achim.
