No, a feature. Having the existing drives show up under '/cygdrive' is a convenience for things like bash and other shells so that they can do completion on the paths to these drives. If you don't want what's under the '/cygdrive' directory, you can omit it from your invocation of 'find'. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
