@subsection How can I make my own portable Cygwin on CD?
While some users have successfully done this, for example Indiana
University's XLiveCD @file{http://xlivecd.indiana.edu/}, there is no
easy way to do it. Full instructions for constructing a porttable Cygwin
on CD by hand can be found on the mailing list at
@file{http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-07/msg01117.html}. (Thanks
to fergus at bonhard dot uklinux dot net for these instructions.)
@subsection How do I save, restore, delete, or modify the Cygwin information stored in the registry?
Currently Cygwin stores its mount table information in the registry. It
is recommended that you use the @samp{mount} and @samp{umount} commands
to manipulate the mount information instead of directly modifying the
registry.
To save the mount information to a file for later restoration, use
@samp{mount -m > mounts.bat} To remove all mount information use
@samp{umount -A}. To reincorporate saved mount information just run the
batch file. For more information on using @samp{mount}, see
@file{http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-utils.html#mount}.
