Add requirement for SYSTEMROOT to FAQ?

2004-10-06 Thread Christopher Faylor
Didn't we resolve that the need for SYSTEMROOT in the environment should be in the FAQ at some point? Joshua, could you add something about how SYSTEMROOT is required for proper operation with winsock? Or, even better yet, Corinna could we force SYSTEMROOT to be used somehow but masked if someone

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: mhash-0.9.1-1 (mhash-devel removed)

2004-10-06 Thread Reini Urban
I've taken over mhash before it would be pulled from distribution, because the previous package was dependent on a MSVC runtime DLL (mingw build). This is fixed now. All tests PASS. It should arrive at your local mirrors soon. MHash is a library of hash algorithms. Canonical homepage: http:/

Misleading warning from mount?

2004-10-06 Thread luke . kendall
In the example below, mount tells me the directory doesn't exist, yet it does. I can "ls" it, and create files in it, and cat them. I suspect the warning really means that "/" isn't mounted. On a system without Cygwin installed: bash-2.05b$ mount c: on /cygdrive/c type user (textmode,no
