Anyone who uses FreeBSD or Linux knows that the _real_ mount command has its arguments reversed to the cygwin version. BTW. When you use Midnight Commander, you may start off in the /dev/hda5 directory (E:\ Dos drive) whose parent directory is /dev (C:\dev in Dos). In other words, clicking at the top of the /dev/hda5 column using mc.exe or tkmc.exe moves you c:\dev, assuming you named such a directory on your c:\ drive.
