Re: [ECOS] Cygwin and eCos Setup

["amassa at cts dot com" <amassa at cts dot com>]

Thanks for the reply.  I did notice that cygwin mounts d:\cygwin to / (my
install directory) as a binmode mount - as well as d:\cygwin\bin to /usr/bin
and d:\cygwin\lib to /usr/lib.

Should I umount and then mount these as textmode?

Thanks,
Anthony
