I *think* I've finished with messing with the mount/registry stuff but we may still change some names of flags and little things like that. There have been a lot of changes. For this reason, I do NOT recommend upgrading at this time but if you really want to be on the cutting edge you're welcome to try the cygwin dll and matching mount/umount from the old snapshot location (ftp.cygnus.com:/pub/noer/winsup-snapshot/). The DLL should automatically copy over old mounts into the new layout. I don't know of anything that's unstable in the Jan-26 snapshot but I make no promises and something may well bite you... -- Geoffrey Noer noer@cygnus.com - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
