 hi;

cygwin 1.3.2 on win2k.

installed under c:\cygwin.

look how weird: compare c:\cygwin with "/", OK:

bash-2.05$ ls /cygdrive/c/cygwin | wc
     12      12      81

bash-2.05$ ls / | wc
     12      12      81


compare c:\cygwin\usr\bin with /usr/bin shows different directory!

bash-2.05$ ls -l /cygdrive/c/cygwin/usr/bin | wc
      1       2       8

bash-2.05$ ls -l /usr/bin | wc
    601    5484   40130


Also, /usr/bin and /bin seems to be the same directory. ls -l does not
show a soft link. Is this a hard link? why ls -l does not say so?

bash-2.05$ ls -l /bin | wc
    601    5484   40130
bash-2.05$ ls -l /cygdrive/c/cygwin/bin | wc
    601    5484   40130


what Ami missing?

Nasser
