| Subject: | Re: Tried to remove cygdrive prefix, ended up "lost" in my filesystem |
| From: | Diego Mesa <diego898 AT gmail DOT com> |
| To: | Andrey Repin <cygwin AT cygwin DOT com> |
hello. I have tried this as well as the option mentioned by Larry in a previous email. His option does indeed work. I've reset everything and can now navigate my file system and correctly see my home directory contents. What I was trying to do is permanently remove any and all reference to a /cygdrive anywhere in my cygwin experience. Essentially, I never want to see "cygdrive" at all. The reason for this is to support several legacy scripts I have collected/built on a system that had this property (not setup by me). And on a new system Ive installed cygwin and don't want to change all of my previous scripts. Is this possible?
