I already employ bat files to switch between cygwin releases. They don't work in an environment where two different cygwins are running at the same time. I have a completely different mount arrangement for the two releases. >EB> If a differing mount table is desired, and I do see potential PRO's for >EB> such a thing then a CYGWIN option "mountkey=foo" should be added and a >EB> tool "cygremount" that copies the "mount v2" keys to a user specified >EB> value be given. > >exactly. Imagine if this is how we'd implemented chroot. What kind of bug reports do you think we'd be seeing? Someone would invariably put a CYGWIN= setting in their .profile and we'd be seeing bug reports like "I ran bash and all of a sudden my chroot environment disappeared!" It is possible to make this cygisolate scenario work in the cygwin process runs non-cygwin process runs cygwin process scenario. I don't think it is really worth the effort at this point, though. If it becomes a big deal, then it can be done. It probably should be done, just for chroot, eventually. cgf
