find / -type l -exec ls -l {} \; | grep cygdrive

lrwxrwxrwx 1 cyg_Simple cyg_Simple 46 Nov 25 09:29 /etc/hosts ->
/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/System32/drivers/etc/hosts
lrwxrwxrwx 1 cyg_Simple cyg_Simple 49 Nov 25 09:29 /etc/networks ->

/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/System32/drivers/etc/services

I also have the following which indicates that I modified /etc/fstab but
too late.

lrwxrwxrwx 1 cyg_Simple cyg_Simple 0 Nov 25 15:54 /proc/cygdrive -> /

If I were able to specify it at the start of setup this issue would not
be present.
