I did read and I mentioned in the post that I had tried the netinstall as well :( That doesn't change that the Git standalone installer gave me an environment that confused me. Reading my original post I think it was written poorly and somewhat insulting, my apologies. Please read this as a suggestion to include mount.exe to the Git standalone install as long as the installer is more than Git.exe/ Gitk.exe by itself. I particularly point out mount.exe because it is one of three files in the most core msys tar, which currently is MSYS-1.0.11-20071204.tar.bz2 (On the MSYS site at Sourceforge, part of MSYS Base System). The other two files are msys-1.0.dll and ps.exe and they are included in the Git standalone install already, so only mount.exe is missing. And that tar is the absolute core of msys if I understand the documentation from the main msys site (which I have read too ;). Regards, Rainer > > Ciao, > Dscho
