Hello All,
I am fairly new to gnu-win particularly cygnus, and I seem to be getting
close to having a functional setup however certain nasty things seem to keep
me from getting it all set up correctly. I have searched through this
list-serv archive for answers but the time has come to go ahead and ask
certain questions that will help me finally get going…
I am using CygWin32 Beta19.1 on a WIN NT 4.0 Workstation/ Service Pack 3
Firstly, concerning mounting stuff in binary/text mixed mode or not, I seem
to be really confused. I have tried to unmount and mount these things
however I invariably end up with the same mounts when I restart the machine.
Are there command-line switches or registry hacks I am missing here or what?
Secondly, environment variables. Every other post I see regards someone
suggesting that someone else add environment variables or adjust them. Can
someone please clarify it all to me by sending or pointing me to some useful
..bash_profile and .bashrc files?
Thirdly and a rabbit trail, I have been attempting to get SSH up and running
however I never get entering my password before it bombs out; some how I
feel this is related to the binary mounts though…
I guess what I really need or desire is to see what a real world running
install LOOKS like. I mean the whole nine yards. That way I can have
something to compare myself to. Anyone have a sacrificial machine lying
around they can stick out there and let a few newbies telnet in and look at?
This could save me an enormous amount of time asking questions,
experimenting, etc.
Thanks in Advance for your help,
Troy High
