Get the winsup (cygwin) sources, and look in winsup/cinstall/* I have a suggestion: if ash isn't installed, /bin/sh should be a symlink to /bin/bash. This should be something bash does upon installation (via /etc/postinstall/bash-is-sh.sh), and once setup gives the user the option of not installing everything (the chooser I'm working on) then the right configuration will happen based on what the user chooses to install (or has installed), not based on yet another dialog box. Note: /etc/setup/installed.db has a list of installed packages. However, it does sound like setup needs to look to see which shells are installed and customize the cygwin.bat file to run the right one, as well as the installed /etc/profile. -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
