I have a fresh install of Cygwin 1.3.22-1 on a PC with Win2K
in c:\cygwin.

After the install, when I run the cygwin.bat file using the
shortcut that appears on the desktop it does not seem to
execute the /etc/profile file and hence does not create the
/home/[username] directory.

Any suggestions as to what might be happening? I have tried
to maually creating the /home/[username] directory, but I have
to execute the .bashrc everytime I open a cygwin window.

I have been using Cygwin 1.3.10 and hence tried doing a fresh
install of 1.3.10 on the same machine and it seems to execute
the /etc/profile and hence create a /home/[username] directory
when the cygwin.bat file is run the very first time.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
