Re: [Swarm-Support] Re: Where to find terminal in Swarm-2.1 binary dist on Windo

Yes, it is true that Swarm-2.1.1 may play with your mount points.  But 
you can undo it.  

I think, if I were you, I would make my mount points the way Cygwin 
wants, and then the only environment thing that is vital is that 
Swarm-2.1.1\bin is in your PATH ahead of the Cygwin stuff.  As I recall, 
in the newer Cygwin, they have the shell configured so you can't run the 
cygwin terminal without having Cygwin\bin in the front of the path. The 
way I got over that was by revising bash_profile as recommended by 
Pietro Terna.  You can check his bash and profile, I kept copies here

I think to put the mounts back the way cygwin wants them, you should 
open a cygwin terminal (if you can) and remove all the mounts. I think 
there's a command to do that, perhaps umount -A or some such.  Then 
rerun the cygwin install and it will put the mouts back the way it wants.

good luck

I don't know much windows, but just telling what I recall.
