You use the "mount" utility to map drives to paths. But I have noticed that
you can't redefine "c:" from the command line. Here's what works -- use
regedit.exe, go to "My Computer\HKEY_USERS\.Default\Software\Cygnus
Solutions\CYGWIN.DLL setup\b15.0\mounts\" and hunt for the "0<x>" mount
point that corresponds to "c:" and "/". Change the "c:" to
"e:\gnuwin32\unix" and everything should work. You can then run mount from
a command prompt to be sure. Note that if you have multiple logins on the
same PC, you may need to hunt for other "Cygnus Solutions" settings, too.

Hi,

I did this just yesterday - I had to edit the registry settings 
directly since you can't umount /. The downside is that if you ever 
do mount --reset you have to re-edit the registry settings.

Unless there is a better way I don't know yet ...

Mike.

a) change into your cygwin-32 bin directory so that you'll still be able
access mount after doing (b)
b) "umount /"
c) "mount e:\gnuwin32\unix /" (or add the switch for binary if you want)

Changing Root (/)

[Sonic Junior]

	Anybody here happen to know how I would change the root (/) directory?
It's current c:, but I want it to be e:\gnuwin32\unix
	If you know, please contact me! Thanks!
