RE: Lesson on internals; what associates / with root


Never mind. It's one thing to "read" something that is written but something else when I make a "connection". I have "connected". The answer is: fstab.

What associates the root of a filesystem??

I'm getting an invalid value for "/". i.e. When I do a "cd /", it will fail. I will get the error message: "cd: / - No such file or directory". Obviously there is something in the environment it doesn't like. The current directory is at what the new root *should* be. I'm running the latest Cygwin 1.7.1-1
