Hello,
While trying to uninstall Cygwin from Windows7 following FAQ 2.19, I
was stuck for quite a long time with file permissions problem, until I
finally found out that SSH host key files in /etc have some "Special
permissions" which prevent removing them. Windows system was not very
helpful saying only "I cannot remove cygwin, you need permission from
Administrator/MYHOST".
Could you please include this case in FAQ?
Regards,
Robert.
