X-Priority: 3 (Normal) X-Authenticated-Sender: #0000624634 AT gmx DOT net X-Authenticated-IP: [172.185.108.27] Message-ID: <13016.1042722817@www63.gmx.net> X-Flags: 0001 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Hi everyone! As I often access different drives from within the bash I'm wondering if there's a quicker way to get on, say, drive l (a network drive) than entering 'cd /cygdrive/l'? I alias'd '/cygdrive/l' to 'l' which works fine for cd, but not for commands like chmod, cp, mv etc. Among others I'd like to use the automatic command line completion which doesn't work for /cygdrive/... either. Any suggestions? Best wishes, Svartsjel -- +++ GMX - Mail, Messaging & more http://www.gmx.net +++ NEU: Mit GMX ins Internet.
