Hi,
I'm a little unclear about what a command like "cd //c" means
under CygWin32. I would expect it to mean "change to the
root directory of drive c". That's not what I get.
For example:
bash-2.01$ pwd
//d/Program Files/JacORB_0.9e
bash-2.01$ cd //c
bash-2.01$ ls
David Personal.lnk MappletKit.lnk Scribble.txt
Home.lnk My Briefcase TRMPTEL.EXE
bash-2.01$ pwd
//c
At this point, pwd reports we are in //c, but we are actually
in //c/winnt/Profiles/david/Desktop.
bash-2.01$ cd //c/winnt/Profiles/david/Desktop
bash-2.01$ ls
David Personal.lnk MappletKit.lnk Scribble.txt
Home.lnk My Briefcase TRMPTEL.EXE
bash-2.01$ pwd
//c/winnt/Profiles/david/Desktop
bash-2.01$ cd ..
bash-2.01$ pwd
//c/winnt/Profiles/david
Lets try something else:
bash-2.01$ cd //c/winnt
bash-2.01$ pwd
//c/winnt
bash-2.01$ ls
<lists the contents of //c/winnt>
bash-2.01$ cd ..
bash-2.01$ pwd
//c
bash-2.01$ ls
<wrongly lists the contents of //c/winnt>
Note that in the above, the last cd command doesn't seemed
to have actually worked.
Is this a bug?
Regards,
