A du under the root directory would give some error (if I remember right it was about not finding a '..' entry). The error has since gone away, but it might be because we are using NTFS instead of FAT now. Brian Beuning ---------- From: Hemal Pandya Sent: Friday, May 02, 1997 10:42 PM To: gnu-win32@cygnus.com Subject: 'ls /' does not work I am using beta17.1. running on Windows 95 'ls /' gives no output, either from within bash or at command.com prompt. Similarly pressing tab after / also provides no completions. mount says c: is mounted on /, which is what is is in the registry too. If I delete the registry entry, both mount and bash restore the entry. Even if I change the registry entry to c:\ or c:\\, bash changes it to c:. After providing a directory name under root, for example /gnu-win32/ filename completion works, as also ls. Any ideas?
