Many thanks. I tried it and it worked. I could see in the Console that it has
changed to/drive (instead of /cygdrive).
# mount
C:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode)
C:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode)
C:\cygwin on / type system (binmode)
c: on /drive/c type system (binmode,noumount)
And I could cd to /drive/c from Console too.
But when I tried to restart sshd, I got this message:
# net start sshd
bash: /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/net: No such file or directory
Do I need to change somewhere else too?
