Because of problems mentioned previously I uninstalled cygwin
following all the instructions at
http://cygwin.com/faq/faq-nochunks.html#faq.setup.uninstall-all.

However when I installed again and started up the bash shell I did not
get my usual prompt, i.e. the typical Cygwin prompt.  Instead I got
this prompt:

bash-3.2$

Also I was started in /usr/bin.

No /home directory was created.  No skeleton files were created.

I thought Cygwin automatically does this the first time you start up.
How come it didn't do it?  What steps do I manually have to do?
