I can't vouch for the "don't do it part", but /etc/fstab is ignored because setup.exe doesn't link against cygwin1.dll, thus isn't a Cygwin application in the technical sense (although it is of course essential for Cygwin as a project or installation). -- Matthias Andree -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
