I tried removing the first line, but still appear in some no mands
land directory:
:cat /et/fstab
# For a description of the file format, see the Users Guide
# http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#mount-table
# This is default anyway:
#none /cygdrive cygdrive binary,posix=0,user 0 0
none / cygdrive binary 0 0
:pwd
/cygdrive/c/Users/myname
:ls -al
.bashrc
The actual contents of C/users/myname are all of my custom files which
are not showing up here.
