Yes :-) I tried it as well. I first installed Cygwin
using a mapped disk (F:). Then I manually altered the
mount table in the registry to the UNC name I want to
use.
It works, but (as usual) the author of the operating
system does not support UNC names in *.bat files. So
when I start bash, using the included `cygwin.bat'
file, I get an error message in the console window.
I'll just have to start bash using a "shortcut" from
the desktop... (setting the environment first).
Thanks.
