The reason mentioned in the previous posting for re-creating symlinks is
that periodically (after several updates) I run through all 3000 of them
re-creating them; that way I can be sure they are all Windows +R *.lnk

I use
ln -s /cygdrive/c /c
ln -s /cygdrive/f /f

longer /cygdrive/c/{pathname}. I only have to do this once and if I had

Hi,
In addition to the issues with the prompt reported elsewhere, bash-3.0-7
seems to have some minor packaging issues:
1) The info file is missing. Running "cygcheck -l bash" on bash 2.05 lists
"/usr/share/info/bash.info" but is not found in the bash 3.0 package.

What you have should work fine.
