The problem is what happens if I run the script twice. I don't understand exactly what happens there, but I know that I got errors about "mount point busy" and such. Anyway, this is what I currently did. My current cygwin.bat: set HOME=p:\ set LOGNAME=tzafrir n:\bin\mount n:/ / n:\bin\mount p:/tmp /tmp n:\bin\bash --login -i Probably could be improved, but it sort-of works for the moment. I sort-of got and X server&ssh up-and-running. I still only consider it sort-of works, as I currently have many problems. For instance, 'startx' doesn't work, due to some X authorization problem. Maybe because mcooky is missing. And I still have to create /home/tzafrir so I can mount my home directory on it. -- Tzafrir Cohen http://www.gadot.org.il/tzafrir/ It has just been discovered that research causes cancer in rats. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
