mount -f -s -b "c:/cygwin" "/" mount -f -x -s -b "c:/cygwin/bin" "/usr/bin" mount -f -s -b "c:/cygwin/lib" "/usr/lib" might work a little better. The -f is necessary for already mounted directories and the -x tells cygwin that the contents of the directory are all executable which speeds things up slightly. 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/
