A quick, find / -type f -print0 | xargs -0 egrep -e /cygdrive -l /dev/null reveals few cases: mkgroup and mkpasswd which contains: /cygdrive/%c (I'm not sure how this is invoked, but it's in there.) My own /etc/rsyncd.conf contains the link names, /cygdrive/C, /cygdrive/D. If I change the prefix now, these will no longer work. It's not hard to fix individual ones, but the point is that things that exist persist in places you might not suspect. For example, my ./home/Administrator/gdbtk.ini contains session=/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio/Common/MSDev98/Bin because that was active at the time I ran gdb. I didn't know this, until I searched for it. The more use you make of things, the less easy it is to change them. I don't recommend chaning the prefix, but YMMV. > > > TIA & HAND > > :-D > -- > David T-G * It's easier to fight for one's principles > (play) davidtg AT justpickone DOT org * than to live up to them. -- fortune cookie > (work) davidtgwork AT justpickone DOT org > http://www.justpickone.org/davidtg/ Shpx gur Pbzzhavpngvbaf Qrprapl Npg! > > -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
