Hello, I'm having problems understanding how cygwin handles the loading of /etc/profile: -> My cygwin.bat says the following: @echo off F: chdir F:\cygwin\bin bash --login -i So, 'bash' supposedly goes and looks for /etc/profile where the environment variables are set (PATH, HOME, etc..). However, my installation doesn't have /etc/profile. Does this mean that I have to create it myself? I do find a f:\cygwin\etc\defaults\etc\profile though... Should I put this one in my cygwin.bat? Another thing that I don't understand is why I am not able to execute 'startx' (X server at /usr/X11R6/bin) even executing first the "profile" from above (manually) and having this profile the following: PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:$PATH export PATH Any idea?
