Re: change /usr ?

Guilaume,

You should think *very* carefully before doing this, but if you are *really* sure you want to, you can use the mount command to remount /usr from c:\cygwin\usr to c:\usr
$ mount c:\usr /usr
or $ mount -b c:\usr /usr
will do this for you.

I should re-iterate, though, that this is probably a *bad* idea.
Actually, unless the user knows what they are doing, a more foolproof
way of making this change is to delete the old installation and make
a new one in setup targeting "C:\" instead of "C:\Cygwin".
