Somehow, I never located it on cygwin. Never just typed in the magic word :) The packaging is a little different here, and the searching not so easy.

I don't know of any that have this problem anymore. Q:/ doesn't tell me where this directly is located... No reason, really, other than the fact that Windoze forces us to access physical storage devices via the silly drive letters . Not using drive letters would mean I have two different presentations: one for local storage and one for remote storage. When in Rome . . . And is there a way to mount a network share without a drive letter, using cygwin? More importantly, is it possible to mount a network share, using cygwin, so that it becomes visible/available in explorer? The scope of mounting seems to be limited to a process (tree). Every service must mount separately. Or have I missed something? - bartels -- 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
