Well, you will have to do the following:
(1) Prepare a batch file, let's say go-bash.bat with the following
contents:
set PATH=c:\cygnus\H-i386-cygwin32\bin;%PATH%
set HOME=c:\myfiles
bash
Of course you will modify the paths according to your situation.
(2) In your 'home' directory as given by the %HOME% variable you will
need the following files:
..bashrc will be sourced at the start of non-login shells
..bash_profile will be sourced at login
..bash_logout will be sourced at logout
Be careful as the .bash* files need to be Unix-type ASCII files, not
Dos-type.
(3) For more info see the file c:\cygnus\man\man1\bash.1
I hope this helps.
