Start up rxvt instead of standard cygwin
rxvt -g 100x50+130+100 -e /bin/bash --login -i
100 - windows width
50 - windows height
130 - start X
100 - start Y

How do I access the C: disk from cygwin?
A: From cygwin, you can get to the C: disk as /cygdrive/c/.
For example, if you want to see the directories and
files in the C: drive, do:
To get to the "Program Files" directory in the C: drive, do:
> cd /cygdrive/c/"Program Files"
If you have a Z: drive as well, then you refer to it
as /cygdrive/z.
I like this permanent solution: create a directory for each
of your disks and mount them:
> cd /
> mkdir c
> mount c: /c
> mkdir d
> mount d: /d
> ...etc
Now you can directly go to the c: drive, for example:
But WE DO NOT RECOMMEND creating and mounting "/a" above
since "ls /" will typically fail as "a:" and generate an ugly
sound when there is no floppy in "a:".
