Hi Larry,
Thx for your help. I opened a dos command window. Typed "dir Y:" and saw
files and directories
that I expected to see from my home directory on Linux. Then (transcript
below) I tried Cygwin.
Still does not seem to work. This is after creating a new passwd & group
file and ensuring that
the user name is correct. I've split $PATH for readability.
