Well, it's *my* /etc/fstab file.  You can just omit the root dir entry
on your machine, or override it with something else.  I don't think
anybody on the world really needs or even expects an explaining comment
on my local machine, except, maybe, a hacker :)
I guess I misunderstood.  I thought this was an example of a generated
fstab file.  So is there going to be a generated file with generated
entries too once this gets out into the "real world"?

See http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-developers/2008-04/msg00002.html and http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-developers/2008-04/msg00003.html

I guess that would be something for the postinstall script which
is supposed to generate the fstab file.

Ah. A postinstall script. Yeah, that could work.


Thanks,
