@subsection Setup screwed up my mounts!
Setup will remove the following mounts, should you have them:
@example
/
/usr
/usr/bin
/usr/lib
/var
/lib
/bin
/etc
@end example
It will then restore (or create new) mounts for /, /usr/bin and /usr/lib
as follows (assuming the default install root C:\cygwin):
@example
Device Directory
C:\cygwin\bin /usr/bin
C:\cygwin\lib /usr/lib
C:\cygwin /
@end example
Since setup is not a Cygwin program, it cannot know about your mounts
(or symlinks, for that matter), and so must impose and enforce this
structure. You should not try to defeat it, unless you know what you
are doing and can deal with the consequences.
@subsection How do I uninstall Cygwin?
Setup has no automatic uninstall facility. Just delete everything
