I find /cygdrive/ just unbearable and I always change it to / after an
install. The issue with this is that post install activities will
create symlinks using /cygdrive moniker so I must go change those if I
find them. Would it be possible for setup to ask for the value and
setup the /etc/fstab with the value? Do others find this bit of annoying?
I just create symlinks so that in the cygwin universe /c means /cygdrive/c,
etc. So, not a link of /, but individual links for the drives I use.
These survive updates, anyway. It's been a long time since I've wiped
everything and installed from scratch, though. If that's what you're
talking about, then my suggestion would not be helpful ...
