That's what I heard, too. I was very happy with the B20 //c access and
quite confused and dismayed by the change to /cygwin/c when I first met
it.

% I'd prefer an ls -l of /c to show the drive, not the link :)
% Do cygwin users commonly change the /cygdrive prefix to '/'?
I don't know about commonly, but this came up on the list a while back
with various inputs; see the archives.
I, like you, want /c to really be /c and not a link, both because of
having to make a link at all and of having to deal with them in ls later.
I took the hard route and changed /cygdrive to /c in the registry,
but the mount command lets you do it much more easily :-)
%
% Are there any issues, positive or negative, in doing so?
I haven't had any problems, other than tripping over scripts and having
to change "//" to "/" (but it would have had to change to "/cygwin"
anyway so it's still a win for me).
