What is supposed to happen with this? Once loaded is it supposed to make emacs know about /cygdrive? Doesn't seem to have much of an effect here. M-x load-file ./cygwin-mount.el C-x d /usr/bin Doesn't work C-x d /cygdrive/c Doesn't work It does seem to have tought emacs thate C:/ = / but in cygwineze that isn't what is used. There you have C:/Cygwin = / So that doesn't help much with cygdrive. Still /usr/bin is unknown for example -- 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/
