I think that's why I use symbolic links instead of mount for drives; something like: cd / ln -s /cygdrive/c etc. Then I just cd /c and seldom have to use /cygdrive at all. I'm sure somebody will explain why this is a bad idea, which is one reason I'm responding here. But it does seem to muddle through... -- Lee Maschmeyer "Be kind to your fur-bearing friends, For a skunk may be somebody's brother." --Fred Allen -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
