Sorry for needing to rehash this, but could someone tell me EXACTLY
what I need to execute to permanently change the default text file
type to DOS?  I've tried numerous variations of what's described here,
and I can't get it to work on a third installation of this (where the
user neglected to select "DOS" on the initial install).

I've tried the following:

mount -ts --change-cygdrive-prefix /cygdrive
mount -ts --change-cygdrive-prefix /d
mount -t --change-cygdrive-prefix /d

These all just echo the usage message.

After the following:

      mount -t d: /d

I get "mount: warning - /d does not exist".  Doing "mount" after this
shows a new mount entry in textmode, but running "ksh" still gets the
usual error.
