Re: Multiple installations and 3PPs

I did not know to much about mount and regtool in Cygwin. As regtool is a Cygwin program and uses the Cygwin environment (am I wrong?) fiddling around in the registry seems to me like changing the car on the race track at full speed instead of going for a pitstop. I seemed more save to me changin

Roman here is what I do. 1) Install first instance of cygwin. 2) Export the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACINE/.../Cygnus Solutions to a file. Use a filename that represents the install. 3) Delete the registry key. 4) If you installed to c:\cygwin, rename that to something else temporarily during

Re: Multiple installations and 3PPs

Hi, I ran into the same problem as other did with different Cygwin version used by different 3PP's. I do not need to have them run simulanously (at least not by now), but need to switch between them in a convenient way, if anyhow possible. Christopher Faylor metioned in his mail the following: T
