This, I don't know. I only have ~500 files in /bin, and that of course will vary depending on what packages are installed. > (And what is the consequence for memory usage when the > virtual directories /usr/bin/ and /usr/lib/ are created on startup?) > This I do: Those are just mount table entries. Memory usage won't change regardless of the number or size of files in the directory a Cygwin mount table entry points to. So there's no consequence there. -- Gary R.
