Enclosed:

    /cygmin.bat (as .bta to get through some gateways)
    /etc/profile
    /etc/passwd
    /etc/group
    ~/.bash_profile

I just stick the CD in the drive of the host machine (I have to know its
driveletter: say F:) and then Start -> Run

    f:\cygmin f: a:\mount.log

or

    f:\cygmin f: c:\tmp\mount.log

if I know the name of a good temp location on the host hard drive. The
slashes have to be backslashes throughout. The reason for creating the
mount.log file is to make sure I can recover the host machine's pre-existing
Cygwin mounts, if any, after exiting "my" mounted Cygwin. (If there are
none, mount.log is of size zero, so nothing is lost or gained.)

PS. Didn't try making an autorun.inf file.
