Can we please refrain from pointing to the registry all the time?
You can check out your mount points by `mount -m > my_mounts', edit
the my_mounts file at will, copy it over to the bin directory on the
target system, and then check the mount points in by starting bash
from explorer and just call `. my_mounts'.
There's even a FAQ entry IIRC.
