Congrats and much thanks!
One minor nit: When cdk.exe is run it first asks you a directory
to unpack to and defaults to c:\tmp. This step confused me at first
since I thought it was asking where b19 should be installed (and I
know it doesn't go in /tmp). So I changed it to c:\cygnus\b19 and
installed. When I was done it was apparent that I had done the wrong
thing, so I just removed everything and started again. Just thought
that the first install panel should be more clear.
I loved the install process. Very slick compared to b18.
Tip: if people need to keep around b18, you can easily set it
up in a seperate account, the only thing I've had to do was
make a second "/bin" directory and mount it over the other one
from 1 account (in my setup /bin is b18's bin (has b18 sh.exe,
and /bin2 is for b19 bins. I mount c:\bin2 to /bin for b19 account)
