Argh! You've installed some 3PP bundle of ssh and it's overwritten your mountpoints! That is /seriously/ unfriendly. Where did you get this download from? > How can I fix the mapping for the root folder ? Use the mount command. At a minimum, you'll need to have /, /usr/bin, and /usr/lib mountpoints all pointing into the correct places in your old dir structure. If you had attached your cygcheck output to the mail as it describes on the problem-reporting page, we could have given you a full list of what mountpoints you'd need to repair. > Where is the documentation for this ? In the cygwin user guide, and also the mount man/info pages. cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today.... -- 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/
