Hello,
I have tried as suggested in [#1] and used the mount command as
follows but it still doesnt work. However, my ~ is indeed my ~
~:pwd
/cygdrive/c/Users/myname
~:cat /etc/fstab
# For a description of the file format, see the Users Guide
# http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#mount-table
# This is default anyway:
none /cygdrive cygdrive binary,posix=0,user 0 0
#none / cygdrive binary 0 0%
~:mount -c /
~:pwd
/cygdrive/c/Users/myname
Note: for some strange reason the listserv isnt making it to my inbox.
Im checking it from: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2013-10/msg00012.html
and so my responses aren't showing up correctly.
