Thanks for the translation ;-). I just wanted to point him to the
conclusion that his mail template is a bit unappropriate for an
english speaking mailing list.

"With friendly Grüssen".

I knew that high school German would come in handy some day... ;-)

Oh, even a real /proc has a benefit.  It allows comfortable TAB-completion,
as in `cat /p' :-)

You misunderstood my intention: creating a "real" /proc has no benefit
and isn't neccessary. /cygdrive is different - I always create that
folder with explorer.

Just create a directory proc from Windows Explorer.  From Cygwin's point
of view the directory already exists, even though it's plain virtual.

Hello,
is there a reason (i bet there is :-) why the /proc and /cygdrive
directory isn't visible when "ls -l /" ?
  cd /
  mkdir proc cygdrive
Sounds easy. But unfortunately it doesn't work for the /proc.
The command executes but after that there is still no directory visible 
via LS.

Mit freundlichen Grüssen,
Oliver Geisen
