Actually, better to just look at Chris' message: <http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2005-05/msg00081.html> The mount commands he lists are the ones that will make everything just work. Unless you know what you're doing, I'd recommend that everyone who needs/wants this functionality to set up the mounts as Chris describes. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
