Hi,

I tried running Cygwin from USB stick following the instructions of
Fergus Bonhard for CDs analogously
(http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-07/msg01117.html referred to in
the FAQ), but was stopped by the necessity to perform the mount
command with admin rights.

What is your solution in general and with respect to that detail ?

Cheers

Martin
