#1

I'm sure that there is a good reason to have two very similiar root type 
directories such as MinGW and msys, but I can't see it.  But, I am new to 
MinGW.  To me two different pseudo root directories.

Can someone explain why the two are necessary and on would not suffice?  Or 
point me to a document which explains it?

    C:\MinGW  and 
    C:\<inGW\msys\1.0

Also some directory has a link or is a link.  /usr?

# 2  Can different users use MinGW.  When installed it uses the current user's 
name to creaste  /home/usr,   but, I'd like to have another user with its own 
/home/<user-name> directory.   ... ls shows the owner of files different 
depending on the person loggged in, but wouldn't allow me to create a 
/home/user-name, as I recall.  There is no /etc/passwd.  How can I find out 
about this to gain a good understanding?

I'd appreciate any and all information.

Thanks
