Re: Save typing /cygdrive/c?
running "mount --change-cygdrive-prefix /" will make all your drives be
subdirectories of "/" instead of "/cygdrive".
there is plenty about this if you search on google. I also suggest reading
the cygwin faq from top to bottom - you'll find useful stuff that you
weren't even looking for.
