I've seen some funniness with regard to the file system
(for example, I can't seem to compile a 'ci' that won't
create garbage). I'm running NT with a FAT C drive and
CYGWIN=NTEA and I was wondering if I would have more
success with either not setting NTEA or moving Cygwin
to a NTFS partition.

Does anyone have a recommendation, suggestion or
experience they can share ?

Isn't "ntea" a no-op on FAT partitions?

My experience favors strongly the installation of cygwin on NTFS.  On NT4, 
the FAT file system isn't as troublesome as FAT32 is on NT5, but it is 
extremely slow.

No it isn't. NT supports EA on both FAT and NTFS.
