Do you mean that you've got cygwin on a removable drive and want to figure out where it's running from? If so, then running a script from the drive and looking at $0 might work. If that doesn't give the full path then /proc/self/exe will but getting the symlink info might be tricky if you are in the setup phase of trying to figure out how to get to something like <whereever>/bin/readlink.exe. cgf -- 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/
