Cygwin in general is in my opinion messy anyway, and running OE under a cygwin environment is not intended. You might end up running into problems that nobody else has.. and that would certainly be annoying. I think If you want to run linux on some embedded device you really should have some proper linux based development machine as well. Also be aware that if your work environment is that picky you might have problems with the firewall when grabbing sources from various places. Also you might have to update OE from the monotone repistory sometimes when there are important changes.. best of luck with your project anyway - the compulab board works fine I am using one myself at work. regards, Tobi
