Subject: Re: Tried to remove cygdrive prefix, ended up "lost" in my filesystem
From: Diego Mesa <diego898 AT gmail DOT com>

I tried removing the first line, but still appear in some no mands
land directory:

    :cat /et/fstab
    # For a description of the file format, see the Users Guide
    # http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#mount-table

    # This is default anyway:
    #none /cygdrive cygdrive binary,posix=0,user 0 0
    none / cygdrive binary 0 0

    :pwd
    /cygdrive/c/Users/myname

    :ls -al
    .bashrc

The actual contents of C/users/myname are all of my custom files which
are not showing up here.
