To date it works just fine. And, as I've > said, to me, disk drives are devices. You should stop talking now, because you're out of your depth. Go away and learn the difference between a physical device and a logical volume, and come back when your comments have any validity. > Somebody suggested /mnt.

You should learn how posix systems work, since there's nothing 'remote' about it. Almost every linux/unix box provides access there to the floppy and CD drive. Would you call them "remote" devices? >Right now we are > just talking personal preferences... No, right now you are redefining words humpty-dumpty style to mean whatever you want them to mean. However "device" and "mounted filesystem" are two very different things with very clear and well-defined semantics, of which you are merely unaware. cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today.... -- 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/
