Okay, I didn't think of that scenario but now lets really compound this - 
I am only updating my installation of bash and yet it asks me for the 
root directory and I change it from as you said c:/cygwin to d:/cygwin - 
are we saying that at this point that setup is going to go and move the 
entire installation of cygwin from the c drive to the d drive.  I think 
that this is way beyond the bounds of what setup should be expected to do 
and comes back to a little common sense on the part of the user.
