When I run the installer and start up Git Bash I have an empty
directory under /mingw.

I do have mingw installed in the default location C:\MinGW.

I am running Vista32.

The -rc2 installer does not give me the mount command that I have with
the netinstall.

So I try this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/ # ln c:/MinGW mingw
ln: `c:/MinGW': hard link not allowed for directory
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/ # ln -s c:/MinGW mingw
ln: creating symbolic link `mingw' to `c:/MinGW': No such file or
directory
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/ # cd mingw/
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/mingw # l
bin/
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/mingw # cd bin/
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/mingw/bin # l
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/mingw/bin #

So I can delete the mingw directory and create a symbolic link with ln
-s, but:
- That fails with "ln: creating symbolic link `mingw' to `c:/MinGW':
No such file or directory".
- But it still creates a new mingw directory.
- which contains an empty "bin" directory (very strange)???
- and does not show the contents of my C:\MinGW.

Now I admit I am a newbie, but I am truely lost at explaining to
myself how that can be happening.

Could someone please shed some insight on this? I searched through the
group but didn't come up with a match, so a pointer to a previous post
would be good enough unless this is really a bug.

Best Regards,
Rainer Keller
