On my home machine, setup keeps creating subdirectory trees when installing certain packages, like: /E/cygwin/%SystemDrive%/Dokumente und Einstellungen/towo/Anwendungsdaten/Microsoft/SystemCertificates/My/Certificates /E/cygwin/%SystemDrive%/Dokumente und Einstellungen/towo/Anwendungsdaten/Microsoft/SystemCertificates/My/CRLs /E/cygwin/%SystemDrive%/Dokumente und Einstellungen/towo/Anwendungsdaten/Microsoft/SystemCertificates/My/CTLs
(I had mentioned this before in a side note, http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2009-11/msg00041.html, but didn't follow up so far because it's not really harmful.) By the names, my guess was it's somehow related to access rights handling, maybe ACLs. This is on a FAT drive (USB-connected) on Windows XP home. I have now noticed that there are a few more directory trees of the same name and structure, in: /lib (i.e. /E/cygwin/lib) /bin /usr/share/terminfo/* (in every subdirectory) /... (one more, don't remember) and this seems to correlate with those directories in which chmod is applied to some files during postinstall. Does that give a clue on the cause? ------ Thomas
