Well at some level you're going to have to know the drive name - either in the path you specify, or in a mount point or a symlink. > I don't much want to change mount points which are currently > conventionally defined. > Is there a way I can get to Q:\else without knowing the drive name Q:? You don't have to change any existing mount points, but you can add a new one in /etc/fstab, e.g. Q:/else /else some_fs binary 0 0 Or create a symlink: ln -s /cygdrive/Q/else /else -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
