See the documentation on mount (hint: the -m option might be especially useful) or just run setup, clicking through it, on the derivative machines.Well, I'm not so sure that that is really a problem... I looked for fstab but couldn't even find one so I'm not sure where the mount table is specified. BUT I don't think that has anything to do with my current problem. I need to 'log in' to bash first. then I'll worry about the cygdrive mount points later. As far as the bin, lib, and root directory / 'mount points' or whatever, the directory structure is the same across all of the windows computers (all running vista). So the bin is always C:\Users\Andy\My Dropbox\cygwin\bin, ..\lib ..\ etc. You get the point. So yea.
No progress thus far. :(
I think you'd be enlightened if you looked at the User's Guide like Barry
suggested. Without the proper mounts set, Cygwin is going to have
allot of trouble finding your "installation". Reading up on 'mount' will help
you understand how to make the mount points the same across all
systems you work on, which will likely help you allot. Also note that
there is no 'fstab' file in Cygwin 1.5 (though there is in 1.7). So that's
another reason why you want to know about 'mount' and not waste any
time with 'fstab' (on Cygwin 1.5).
