No, /bin (on u:) is linked to /g/bin, /sr is linked to /g/usr.

/h is another root partition I use for testing.

Anyway, it works with a bash compiled with a newer mintlib.


However, I bumped into another problem. When running a chroot'ed
shell, it's not possible to create any forms of pipes in it, because
it cannot write in /u/pipe (or whatever directory it tries to write
in). I tried to create a directory /h/pipe (/h being the chroot'ed
root), but it didn't make any difference.

It gives these messages:

bash: pipe error: path not found
bash: start_pipeline: pgrp pipe: path not found


Again, this is with FreeMiNT 1.15.6b and bash 2.04 compiled with
MiNTLib 0.53 (+ the chroot() bit you sent to the list).
