Maybe you just want access to Cygwin executables from the Windows command prompt? That's what I sometimes require, and a convenient method to achieve this is simply to put w:\cygwin\bin in your path. I don't mount anything anywhere. Don't forget that a few commands are duplicated in Cygwin and Windows (eg "find"). If you put the entry w:\cygwin\bin early in the path, then you will get the Cygwin not the Windows version. Put it late, and you will get the Windows not the Cygwin version. (Personally I've put it early.) Fergus
