So you're copying the installation but not the mount table.  You're
right that won't work.

For the time being, you should be able to dump the mount table to a .bat
file with "mount -m" and then run the .bat on the system that has the
copied installation.

This technique probably won't work in Cygwin 1.7.x when it is released,
though.
