I use mount:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]> mount
C:\Documents and Settings on /home type system (binmode)
C:\apps\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode)
C:\apps\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode)
C:\apps\cygwin on / type system (binmode)
C:\dev on /dev type system (binmode)
C:\tmp on /tmp type system (binmode)
A: on /a type system (binmode)
C: on /c type system (binmode)
D: on /d type system (binmode)
Also: in "Control Panel->System->Advanced->Environment Variables->User
variables" I have HOME=C:/Documents and Settings/rwalker. When bash
constructs a shell environment, I get "HOME=/home/rwalker" (by the magic
of mount and bash's environment variable mapping). This works great for
all the Cygwin stuff. Any normal Windows programs that use $HOME (e.g.
FSF ntemacs) see the same directory, but by a different name.

Hi all,
I was wondering if it is possible to use the windows folder "My
Documents" or even "C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME" (or some dir
inside those) as the hoe directory in Cygwin. I though about
substituting the user directory inside /home by a symlink to one of
the above. Is there any reason that wouldn't work? Is there a better
way to do it?
The reason I am thinking about it is just practical: I want to have
all my files (Windows or Cygwin) under one root.
Thanks a lot
Gustavo.
