-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 According to fergus on 7/8/2005 9:57 PM: > There must be something special about doing this with a drivename.

Actually, a more common solution is to use "mount" to move the cygdrive prefix to a spelling other than its default (usually /, as mentioned in the FAQ, http://cygwin.com/faq/faq_toc.html#TOC53). - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!
