I believe it is still supported for Cygwin 1.5. I think what has happened is the Cygwin DLL created an actual /cygdrive directory (which is useful for things like bash completion) in your chroot jail. Now that you've changed the Cygdrive prefix, delete that directory and all should be good. BTW, it is preferable to change the Cygdrive prefix with 'mount -c <posixpath>' rather than mess around in the registry. -- Bryan Thrall FlightSafety International [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- 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/
