Re: CYGWIN_ROOT Question

Thanks in advance for helping.

I originally had Linux RH9 installed on the second partition of my primary
(and at the time only) harddrive. I have since dedicated a secondary hard
drive to Linux, and figured I would completely dedicate the partition to
Cygwin (D:\). However I have begun to suspect that setting CYGWIN_ROOT to
D:\ is not sufficient (XWin refuses to run, I don't think its an X problem,
but if it is I guess this post will be moved).
My question is whether there is a quick fix to this or whether it is more
trouble than it is worth.


Hm.  Now that's a good one.  Perhaps my memory is failing me but in all
the years I've been using Cygwin, I don't ever recall CYGWIN_ROOT being
officially used.  Perhaps you should back up and start over with:
