Hi, I don't know if this helps but I have Linux running on 'server' and win98 on 'ppp' (see note below) Samba links the two - ppp accesses a Samba share 'darryl' (my home directory on server) >From a bash prompt I can eg; # mount //Server/darryl/public_html/current_project /home/darryl/current_project where /home/darryl/current_project is a folder in my cygwin home directory. There is a post in the archives which questioned the possibility of mounting a floppy with ext2fs on cygwin. But I gather this isn't what you are trying to. Note: when I installed cygwin from the internet it changed the name of my win box from 'station' to 'ppp' and I had to correct my Network Neighbourhood settings accordingly. I'd like to change it back but haven't got that igured yet. Hopes this helps, Darryl. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
