Streepy, Jr." Cc: cygwin@cygwin.com In-Reply-To: <3D3C5603.9090008@healthlanguage.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit If you don't specify a dos drive, \cygwin\bin will be relative to the curent dos disk drive. so if you are in d:, \cygwin\bin\ls.exe exists. after that you do a 'cd /c'. current dos drive becomes c:. c:\cygwin\bin\ls.exe doesn't exist and you get 'not found'. answer to your P.S.: P.S. I am not using the normal installation settings where /cygwin is mounted as / since I have a lot of other directories at the top of my D drive that I want to access from within cygwin all drives can be accessed by 'cd /cygdrive/x' when x is the letter of the dos drive. so the following mountpoints is incorrect: C: on /c type system (binmode) should be c: on /cygdrive/c type system (binmode) does that answer all your questions ? ___________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? -- Une adresse @yahoo.fr gratuite et en français !
