RE: Installin CYGWIN



		Yowza.  The default mount point for the / is the root of the
device upon which
		it is resides.  To correct this problem all that needs to
happen is from MSDOS
		do `mkdir F:\tmp'.

You ignored the part of the original mail which stated User rather than
Admin rights. Same for me here, and prohibits using C:\, as well as many
other directories.


		Besides, didn't you read the warning about spaces in path
names.  Not a good
		idea at all.

So what?  Works with everything but ActivePerl.  And as that is not a Cygwin
program, I put it into into C:\Winnt. 

The beauty is of course that it still runs fine under Cygwin via a symlink
from /usr/bin/perl to its actual location.
