I have installed the .rar system and have the ext2 = file system mounted at bootup.  Mine uses drive F: as the drive it = is on.

I have noticed there is a problem when using Cygwin = and referring to this drive.  I am using cygwin-b20.1 = (ts=3D12-30-1998).  The problem is that the sizes listed with = "ls -l" for normal files is always 0.  For directories = the sizes are always multiples of 1024 bytes.

The sizes show properly in CMD.EXE and in explorer, = so AFAIK Cygwin is not using the size info properly.  Possible bug = that is fixed in a later snapshot?
