This works on Windows 98 (sort of): BASH-2.05b$ uname -a CYGWIN_98-4.10 FAETON 1.3.12(0.54/3/2) 2002-07-06 02:16 i686 unknown BASH-2.05b$ ./make-etc-links.sh create symbolic link `/etc/hosts' to `/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/hosts' create symbolic link `/etc/protocols' to `/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/protocol' create symbolic link `/etc/services' to `/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/services' create symbolic link `/etc/networks' to `/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/networks' BASH-2.05b$ However, two problems: 1) When the script has run, but created a link to a non-existent file, and then run again: BASH-2.05b$ ./make-etc-links.sh /bin/ln: `/etc/protocols': File exists BASH-2.05b$ ls /etc/protocols /etc/protocols BASH-2.05b$ [ ! -e /etc/protocols ]; echo $? 0 BASH-2.05b$ [ ! -L /etc/protocols ]; echo $? 1 BASH-2.05b$ The -e test apparently fails if the file is a symbolic link to a non-existent file (is this a bug?). I've attached the correction. 2) CYGWIN="check_case:strict" As I suspected earlier, this fails -- the links are created, but an attempt to cat the files results in "no such file or directory", and an attempt to save the file after editing results in a write error. On my Windows 98, cygwin interprets the filenames for c:\windows\hosts, etc, as all caps. I don't know how important this is to pursue.
