hi;
cygwin 1.3.2 on win2k.
installed under c:\cygwin.
look how weird: compare c:\cygwin with "/", OK:
bash-2.05$ ls /cygdrive/c/cygwin | wc
12 12 81
bash-2.05$ ls / | wc
12 12 81
compare c:\cygwin\usr\bin with /usr/bin shows different directory!
bash-2.05$ ls -l /cygdrive/c/cygwin/usr/bin | wc
1 2 8
bash-2.05$ ls -l /usr/bin | wc
601 5484 40130
Also, /usr/bin and /bin seems to be the same directory. ls -l does not
show a soft link. Is this a hard link? why ls -l does not say so?
bash-2.05$ ls -l /bin | wc
601 5484 40130
bash-2.05$ ls -l /cygdrive/c/cygwin/bin | wc
601 5484 40130
what Ami missing?
