I'm aware of that. And I exited out of my cygwin window (the only thing I had running, since I run no Cygwin services) and went back in after making the edit. However, considering that I could already see /usr/bin before I made the change, and my bash prompt was still screwed up, I don't think that was the problem, somehow. Though there was only one line in my fstab...is it still looking at the 1.5-era registry entries, perhaps? -- --Alfvaen (Web page: http://www.telusplanet.net/public/alfvaen/ ) Current Album--They Might Be Giants:Long Tall Weekend Current Book--Carol Berg:Transformation We've got four big clocks, and they're all ticking. -- 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/
