Re: gnu-win32 without registry entries?


Well, since I'm setting up gnu-win32 on a Zip disk to use on various systems, I was in here looking for the same type of info... I understand it's kind of kludgy, but I just created a .bashrc file for myself, for example, with 

umount /
mount d: /

Not necessarily as glorious as you'd like, but functional...
