hi,
since we're on the subject, I'm also new to cygwin. My install seems to work
ok, however, I made the mistake of giving my temp directory as the install
location. I've since changed my %TEMP% variable to another location in my
autoexec.bat file but I still feel funny having so much nice stuff in a
directory called e:\temp(this is my cygwin root directory /
If I want to change the name to something better like e:/cygwin how would I
do this?
I suspect I could do what you guys have been talking about, which is unmount
everything including / /usr/bin /usr/lib and others then change the dir
name from temp to cygwin then
> mount -f -s -b e:/cygwin /
> mount -f -s -b e:/cygwin/bin /usr/bin
> mount -f -s -b e:/cygwin/lib /usr/lib
and update my $PATH right?
