I would much prefer this method as well as the registry is a big conglomeration of everything under the sun -- including entries from programs you uninstalled years ago.... :-) -----Original Message----- From: Enoch Wu [mailto:wue AT eskimo DOT com] Sent: Wednesday, October 14, 1998 6:58 PM To: john_r_velman AT mail DOT hac DOT com; gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com Subject: Re: gnu-win32 without registry entries? Hi all, I second it! We should be able to use a mount table like linux's fstab on the C drive's root directory. How do you mount it on c:/root/b19/etc/fstab for example, assuming the root is at c:/root/b19 ? Perhaps the location of fstab can be hard-coded like c:/root/etc/fstab.
