For good measure I add another one: http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#mount-table http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#cygdrive http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-utils.html#mount Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Project Co-Leader cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
