So please forgive my ignorance. I have tried to install the cygwin full.exe on both 95 and NT 4.0 SP4. I would like to set up cygwin so when I bring up the bash shell it maps my root to d:/unix. I believe I am following the Users Guide properly. After installing cygwin I start the bash shell and it comes up fine. I unmount root and remount it using "mount //d/unix /". It gives me the expected error message that / does not exist. I then exit out of bash and restart it. Now on the 95 box when I try to change to / I get the error message 'cd /: No such device'. On the NT 4.0 box I do the same thing and when I restart bash the cursor just sits there for a minute or so then it gives me a prompt. If I try to do anything it hangs for a minute or so then gives me a prompt. Any ideas what I am doing wrong? Tim McGinnis -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
