Following the discussion "Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: vim-7.0.122-1"
(http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-10/msg00411.html...)
I have discovered that in /etc there are 4 wrong links (I say that them
are 'wrong' because 'ls' shows them in RED instead of CYAN):

   hosts -> C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
   protocols -> C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\protocol
   services -> C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\services
   networks -> C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\networks

Now, I have the cygdrive prefix mounted to '/', i.e. when I installed
Cygwin, I have run

   mount --change-cygdrive-prefix /

so that I can access drives as /c (C:), /a (A:), /d (D:, DVD burner) and
/e (E: CD burner).

I would ask if it is the case, as workaround, to recreate, manually, those
links in the correct way, for example:

   ln -sf /c/WINDOWS/system32/drivers/etc/hosts hosts
   ...



Thanks,

   Angelo.
