Another way would be if MiNT automatically symlinked the "virtual" folders
(dev, shm, proc,...) to the rootdrive selected in the UNIXMODE. Then if
you set the rootdrive to an ext2 partition instead of u:\, things would
almost work like in other unices. :)

This is a thing that also occurred to me during the discussions about
hiding the drive letter folders from u:\. I think it should be possible to
select a root partition like F:, set your UNIXMODE to /brFs and symlink
the folders you *don't* want to hide from u:\ to f:\. And then ignore u:\
alltogether.:)
