Hello --
Up until recent cygwin update, the " virtual root" for cygwin
environment was under "/cygdrive/c/cygwin/". Thus, the cygwin
environment read the "/cygwin/c/cygwin/etc/passwd" file for shell and
$HOME.
After recent update: the "root" has changed to "/cygdrive/c"
Why did this happen and how do I change this to previous?? I have
gratuitous shell script / apps / etc. that depend on previous "virtual
root". I assume this can now be set via some init. parameter (in bash??).
Please advise -- and why the change?? Thanks -GA
