I tried this. The directory is there and accessable in win95, but when I
run the cygwin bash shell I still get the error message that the /tmp
directory should be created. If I change directories to the root directory
and then try to chang into the tmp directory this happens -

ls: tmp: No such file or directory

The top part is a directory listing (ls) of the root directory and as you
can see second from the bottom on the right hand side is the directory tmp.
But when I try to change directory to it, nothing seems to happen. When I
try to do an "ls -l tmp" it says the directory doesn't exist.
I have tried deleting the directory with win95 and re-createing it with
both win95 and cygwin, and neither works. What am I doing wrong?
