Brian,
Thanks for your response. Not sure what you mean by
"however all of your mounts point to d:\cygwin2.
> That's definitely not right"
Unfortunately I have limited Cygwin knowledge. Can
you please elaborate what mounts are and about how
to/risks of changing them to point to d:\cygwin
instead of d:\cygwin2. We are currently using cygwin
for our ITG application to connect with remote servers
and I wouldn't want to negatively affect anything. I
will also start looking at the documentation on mounts
on the cygwin site.
Thanks,
Sam
