Hi,

I don't know if this helps but I have Linux running on 'server'
and win98 on 'ppp' (see note below)

Samba links the two - ppp accesses a Samba share 'darryl' (my home directory on server)
From a bash prompt I can eg;

# mount //Server/darryl/public_html/current_project /home/darryl/current_project

where /home/darryl/current_project is a folder in my cygwin home directory.

There is a post in the archives which questioned the possibility of mounting a floppy with ext2fs
on cygwin. But I gather this isn't what you are trying to.

Note: when I installed cygwin from the internet it changed the name of my  win box from 'station' 
to 'ppp' and I had to correct my Network Neighbourhood settings accordingly.
I'd like to change it back but haven't got that igured yet.

Hopes this helps, Darryl.
