Moving Cygwin Install dir


Greetings Cygwin peeps,

I have an install of Cygwin, and I need to move it to another machine.  I have
zipped up the entire directory, and moved it to the new machine.  The problem
is that when I try to start cygwin.bat, I get the following error :

bash.exe: warning: could not find /tmp, please create!

So, in cygwin.bat, I tried the following :

mount %temp% /tmp

This fixed the /tmp error message, but it seems bash was unable to find the
correct home directory to start from, thus no path envirnonment, and nothing
works too well...  And it starts me in /bin


Any ideas to get it back to normal?

Thanks,
Brian
