I have set the path in my autoexec.bat to be: PATH=%PATH%;e:\cygn us\b19\h-i386-cygwin32\bin;e:\usr\home and also added the lines SET HOME=/usr/home set GCC_EXEC_PREFIX=e:\cygnus\b19\H-i386-cygwin32\lib\gcc-lib\ set TCL_LIBRARY=e:/cygnus/b19/share/tcl8.0 set GDBTK_LIBRARY=e:/cygnus/b19/share/gdbtcl In the shortcut I created I directed the working directory to c:\usr\home Now everything "aparently" works. I can execute commands the whole works. *But* when I type a command that does not exist, say, vi (I dont have it yet) the whole computer hangs and I am forced to ALT CTRL DEL and then a push of the computer's reset button. So my questions are: 1) Has anyone come across this problem? 2) Does anyone have a solution? 3) Have I screwed something up very badly. All comments are welcome. I would like to fix this before compiling the X11 stuff and then Sergey's inetd stuff. I ask that you please make your comments as idiot proof as you can so that even I can understand them.
