Cygwin.................. (dots representing 5 minute periods I've just spent trying to make it useful... Not so far.) It's getting a bit off topic but actually more Gentoo. Does anyone have a good link for running portage under Cygwin? I found this one but it fails at the step that does the mount: http://www.gentoo-wiki.info/HOWTO_Gentoo_on_Cygwin This command failed for me: m...@gamer /usr $ mount -o `cygpath -m /usr/.managed/portage/` /usr/portage mount: invalid option - 'D:/cygwin/usr/.managed/portage/' m...@gamer /usr If I could build a mini-Gentoo environment in Cygwin and take advantage of portage and emerge to get cdrtools then this might work for me. I don't have the time or interest to become a real Cygwin-er. - Mark
