You have to ask such questions at the Cygwin/XFree86 mailing list.

Hi,

I was reading through the mailing list after discovering i have the dreaded
IO error 104.  This is what you suggested to do:

"Sounds like you need to mount your drives in binary mode, and retry the
installation as the font files don't quite work right in text mode."

I tried typing mount -b -f as has been suggested to me but bash complains
that there aren't enough arguments in the command.  Since i am relatively
new to Unix, i was hoping that you could shed some light on what drives to
mount in binary mode, and how to execute the command.. i have read the help
in cygwin and on the net, but it doesn't seem applicable (btw, my XWin.log
is nearly exactly the same as the one that was posted on the net).

Thanks for any help in advance
