Well, what are the following commands telling you: $ ls -a ~/ $ ls -a $HOME $ cd && ls -a I guess it will list .cpan too and so it will find all in the place where it should be. Another question: >So I did this: >------------------------------------------------------------ >$ ln -svdnf '/home/sorenboss/.cpan/' ~/.cpan >create symbolic link `/cdv/e/home/sorenboss/.cpan' to >`/home/sorenboss/.cpan/' >------------------------------------------------------------ Why didn't you mount this way: $ mount -s -b x:/cygwin/home/sorenboss/.cpan \ > e:/home/sorenboss/.cpan ? I use always mount for something like this.
