Hi cygwinners,
I found this entry in the faq:
http://cygwin.com/faq/faq_4.html#SEC52
So there is no explanation, what is the problem with that issue.
I only read, that it is not recommended, but why?
'It is strongly recommended not to make the Cygwin root directory
the same as your drive's root directory, unless you know what you
are doing and are prepared to deal with the consequences. '
What are the consequences?
regards,
