Re: Can I mount D:\ rather than C:\ as the gnu-win32 root directory? jmk3 AT crux4 DOT cit DOT cornell DOT edu Sun, 21 Apr 1996 02:20:30 -0400 Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Jean-Francois Devos: "Re: Can I mount D:\ rather than C:\ as the gnu-win32 root" Previous message: Johannes Reisinger: "file times" Go into the Registry and look for like HKEY_BLAH(what is the reasoning behind those names?!)/Software/Cygnus and you'll find the "mount list" (my term). I have had the problem a few times with gnu-win32 when getting a new version of nothing working at all because c:\ is / and d:\ is nothing, and d is my main partition. Now, it doesn't take me long to realize or fix, but can the library be smarter? Like, if cygwin.dll is in d:\usr\lib (or is it d:\lib?), then maybe d:\ should be / by default instead of c:\. Or if NT is on d:\, or whatever is easy to find by whatever is setting up the default mount points. Someone indicated to me once they didn't know how to work with the registry; as a hint, look for Windows NT Diagnostics in the Administrative Tools in the normal/default NT Program Manager setup; then, there's a menu that lists registry editor, disk administrator and I think Event Viewer. I think this is supposedly fixable by running mount from the (empty) NT shell ("cmd" aka command.com), but I've had more luck using the registry. - Jay - For help on using this list, send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
