just insert your USB key into a PC

With this tiny Cygwin setup on your USB flash drive, you can use anyone's MS-Windows PC (standard internet cafe PCs, like XT or NT), and have your own files, desktop, browsers, ssh, editors, etc., on a 256M (or larger) flash drive.

To use tinycygwin, you insert your tinycygwin USB into a host PC, and click on the mount.bat script. Up comes a console window (rxvt running bash), and that's it! If you want an X-Windows desktop, you type the startx.sh command. You never leave Windows, you don't reboot. The tinycygwin X-desktop is just another set of .EXE and DLLs to MS Windows.
