Is there any reason for that ? ---- Just set your cygdrive prefix to "" (null) Then you can use /d/, /e/, and _usually_, "/" = your root drive ... Works REAL well, when you install cygwin in the root dir, since then all the paths match up between cygwin and windows.
More than one windows app takes "/" as a path-sep, as well as "\" (Gvim for example). -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
