Try mount mkdir /d mount d: /d and then put /d/anything in your path. There's more info about mount scattered throughout the documentation/FAQ. > d:/fsf/bin contains man.exe but I can't run man. > Is the cygwin install supposed to contain man.exe? I downloaded the man package from the franken ftp site, but if you already have another man, then maybe that will work. I believe the man pages are included in the install, but man.exe is not, for some reason. -- Want to unsubscribe from this list? Send a message to cygwin-unsubscribe@sourceware.cygnus.com
