Greetings I would like to be able to have a portable version of cygwin in my Flash Drive. I have been able to do it but it requires that I enter some registry entries such as:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2\/] "native"="F:\\cygwin" "flags"=dword:0000000a [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2\/usr/bin] "native"="F:\\cygwin/bin" "flags"=dword:0000000a (as simple as double clicking a .reg file, however:) Many computers at my university do not allow access to the registry and modification of it. All I really need is the X server, and I have been able to lean it down to a 23 MB package that runs it (as a background process). An unfinished but working copy at: http://tinyurl.com/8pu2x * Any older versions that do not use the registry but use relative directories? * Would it be possible to wrap the executable and feed it an 'alternate registry'? * Warning: I have (for now) minimal experience and limited resources.
