No response though :-( And again, I doubt the guide is at >flaw..since every other site has roughly the same instructions. It's unlikely that every other site tells you to edit cygwin.bat. If that was really a requirement then we'd do this at start time not tell everyone to do it. The instructions at this site actually go against what we consider to be good practice. For instance, this: mount -s --change-cygdrive-prefix / is not something that we endorse. So please don't characterize this as standard advice. It isn't. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
