I used to run a portable version of cygwin from my usb drive -- and I
confirm that it works. I never tried to use it on a system that
already had cygwin installed. I used these instructions although the
look like they haven't been updated since Feb 2005:
One recommendation I have is to NOT run if from a flash drive if there
is a hard drive install...it can fiddle with stuff that will make the
hard drive installed not be correct.

I really enjoy Cygwin and would love to have a portable copy on a
thumb drive. I use Cygwin all the time, and obviously I can't install
it on every computer I go on, especially since many are not mine.
