Re: text=binary mounts


There is no need to regedit.  Do the following (assuming default 
directories and executing from bash):

cd /gnuwin32/b18/H-i386-cygwin32/bin
./umount /
./mount -b c:\\ /

./umount /bin
./mount -b c:\\gnuwin32\\b18\\H-i386-cygwin32\\bin /bin

./umount /all_the_other_directories
./mount -b d:\\all_the_other_directories /all_the_other_directories
