I'm using cygwin mount points on many computers with many windows partitions and it works fine! You are not obliged to use REGEDIT, to change the root mount! Try umount / mount [-bf] X: / and you will see: This works, too! So, too, it's definitly unnecessary, to use a //cygdrive style syntax! Many nice features of cygwin are working as expected, some others have errors in it, but less than windows itself! Some code also workarounds windows shit! As a result, IMHO, your last sentence is a insolence! Corinna -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
