Re: gnu-win32 without registry entries?


Hi all,

I second it!  We should be able to use a mount table like linux's fstab on
the C drive's root directory. How do you mount it on c:/root/b19/etc/fstab
for example, assuming the root is at c:/root/b19 ?  Perhaps the location of
fstab can be hard-coded like c:/root/etc/fstab.
