Yes, I agree - poor choice of words. There is no incompatibility between cygwin and windows. The question I was trying to raise is: "Is managed mounts the most appropriate work around in Cygwin for an issue which may be, admittedly, caused by KDE-on-Cygwin?" Also as a future Cygwin service would it not make sense to have a translation layer in Cygwin which automatically translates conformant linux/unix names into conformant windows names. If this is what managed mounts does, I apologize in advance, since I am not familiar with managed mounts. /Ross -- 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/
