Hi.  I searched the archives, but did not find anything on this.  According
to the man page for mount and Christopher Faylor original announcement
(http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2001-09/msg00014.html ), the command:

mount -s --change-cygdrive-prefix /

should remount the /cygdrive/c filesystem as /c.  When I do this and type ls
/c, I see:

ls /c
ls: /c: No such file or directory

and the df command shows the mount points have not changed.  I am doing this
from an account with Administrator priviledges on Win XP, cygwin release
version is 1.3.22-1.

What am I missing?
