Something like "cat /cygdrive/g/autorun.inf" from a shell script. > so I don't know if it's relevant here or not, but it might be useful for a > portable installation to have a way to detect the drive letter so as to be > able to (re)assign the mountpoints (e.g. from Cygwin.bat) before starting up a > shell or other cygwin app. I already do that (something like "mount -fu %~d0\cygwin /") in a batch script. Unfortunately the %~d0" trick is a Cmd thing so I can't directly use it from bash or zsh. > USB stick drive letters change very often... That exactly is my problem...
