@subsection Why is Cygwin suddenly @emph{so} slow?
If you recently upgraded the @samp{cygwin} package and suddenly
@emph{every} command takes a @emph{very} long time, then you probably
have the obsolete @code{//c} notation in your PATH. This now means
the @emph{network share} @code{c}, which will slow things down
tremendously if it does not exist. See then next FAQ entry.
@subsection Why doesn't //c (for C:) work anymore?
(Similarly for any drive letter, e.g. @code{//z} for @code{Z:})
This ``feature'' has long been deprecated, and no longer works at all
in the latest release. As of release 1.3.3, @code{//c} now means the
@emph{network share} @code{c}.
If you recently upgraded and suddenly @emph{every} command takes a
@emph{very} long time, then something is probably attempting to
access a network share. You may have the obsolete @code{//c}
notation in your PATH or startup files. This now means the

For a detailed discussion of why this change was made, and how deal
with it now, refer to

@subsection Why can't I access my network shares with @samp{cron}, or when using pubkey authentication with @samp{ssh}?
Some Cygwin services normally run as the SYSTEM user, which has
certain limitations. Under the Windows authentication scheme, the
SYSTEM user cannot access network shares that require authentication.
For more information, see
@file{http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html}.
Workarounds include using public network share that does not require
authentication (for non-critical files), or running the service as
your own user with @samp{cygrunsrv}.
@subsection How should I set my PATH?
This is done for you in the file /etc/profile, which is sourced by bash

@subsection What packages should I download? Where are 'make', 'gcc', 'vi', etc?
When using Cygwin Setup for the first time, the default is to install
a minimal subset of packages. If you want anything beyond that, you
