what do you mount point? Like 'mount d:\cygroot\usr\bin /bin' ?
What should be in the path then d:\cygroot\bin or both of them?
I just downloaded all the packages and then ungzipped and untarred them, so
I received two folders one is \bin another one is \usr\bin and there are
some binaries with the same names but with different sizes. I didn't install
it to existing directory. Could you please explain me why we need two such a
files with different sizes but with equal names iside two folders \usr\bin
and \bin. I would like to put them to one folder, and not to use two paths
in the PATH env variable. Is it possible?


Thanks,
Salikhyan.

/usr/bin is a mount point pointing to /bin.  The sizes of the files should
show
exactly the same as there are indeed the same files.

Did you install into an existing directory?
