Thank you!
The qualifier some_fs is new to me and very useful/effective.
I reduced the syntax to
c: /c some_fs binary 0 0
d: /d some_fs binary 0 0
..
..
l: /l some_fs binary 0 0
with (so far) no glitches.

For years I have overwritten the content of the default /etc/fstab with the
one-liner
none / cygdrive binary 0 0
thus allowing drivenames of the style /d/ instead of /cygdrive/d/
which syntax is (2nd) shorter but mainly (1st) easily mimics Linux syntax
making scripts
mutually transferable.

Trivial and unimportant but still worth querying:
A recent update provided diffutils v.3.12 and then later exploration of a
mismatch on platforms revealed this to be a test verson and 3.11 to be current.
I'm pretty certain that I did not request a test version (of anything) - so I
overwrote 3.12
Thank you for nano update to v.8.0 during last day.
Previously the option "set smooth" was allowed in the config file /etc/nanorc

Is there a new way to set this option? (Or maybe a recursion to, from memory,
some switch in the command line?)
Thank you!

Today's update
python39-imaging 11.1.0-1
appears to contain a weird and probably trivial packaging error.
Under

the two files METADATA and PKG-INFO.lnk are identical, and the 2nd is not a

I deleted it and created the link
