Can we please refrain from pointing to the registry all the time? You can check out your mount points by `mount -m > my_mounts', edit the my_mounts file at will, copy it over to the bin directory on the target system, and then check the mount points in by starting bash from explorer and just call `. my_mounts'. There's even a FAQ entry IIRC.
