Cygwin XFree86 installation on D:

[mark dot hackmann at philips dot com]

All,

I'm new to this, but I spent some time looking through the instructions, web pages and archives for this problem, and couldn't find it.  My apologies if I missed it.

I installed a complete Cygwin and XFree86 on my Windows NT box in standard fashion, with the exception of pointing everything to the D: drive (a partition of the physical drive).  This worked swimmingly, and came up with no trouble.  However, I noticed a
Cygwin subtree on the C: drive that was pretty sparse, having nothing in it until you get down to  C:\Cygwin\usr\X11r6\lib\X11\fonts, where there are lots of subdirectories.

Hmmm, says I.  Is this necessary?

So, I moved it to the D: drive in the same place, where, incidentally, there was nothing, and lo and behold, XFree86 is now broken!  Here's the log file:

Fatal server error:

=============================================

Sure enough, the font paths are not qualified with a drive letter.  When I copy the stuff back to the C: drive, everything is hunky-dorry.

Anyone seen this before, or know what I should do?  Maybe it's a bug in setup?

Thanks,
