But when I reboot my computer, my mount table still shows the ^^^^^^^^^ I don't believe that setup.exe ever created symlinks for these directories. I could be wrong. Either way, if such a thing was ever done by setup.exe, it was quite some time ago. >e:\cygwin\bin is mounted on /usr/bin, where e:\cygwin is mounted on /. >This means both /bin and /usr/bin are the same physical directory.

If it's not an artifact your custom environment (the fact that you mention symlinks to /bin and/or /usr/bin makes me think your environment may be "fooling" setup.exe into doing the wrong thing), please provide details of what you find. If you find it's the result of something specific to your environment, we only need to know that this is the case.
