[GRASSLIST:4900] Setting database

[lawrence moran]

Hi,
 
I'm in the process of setting up my PC with Grass and other software to mirror my Mac laptop. Is it possible to either set the Database outside of the Cygwin install on C: (for instance D:/Lawrence/Grass)? 
 
Alternatively, can I simply move the Cygwin folder with all its contents to the D: drive? The reason for this is that space on C: is limited so I don't have sufficient space for all my data.
 
Are there any other alternatives?
 
Thanks,
 
Lawrence
