RE: Save typing /cygdrive/c?

[Igor Pechtchanski <pechtcha at cs dot nyu dot edu>]

Scott,

"mount" is part of the "cygwin" package, so it should work if you've
installed Cygwin.  "man mount"  is another story, however.  A search for
"man1/mount.1" on <http://cygwin.com/packages/> reveals that you need the
"cygwin-doc"  package.  Sorry for my assumption that it is installed
automatically.
