The one on the cygwin site is not as good as http://www.google.com Let's say your searchterms are "path" and "home". Enter the following in the search box at google: path home site:cygwin.com Click search and you should get a whopping number of hits that are all archived mail messages. Should take you about an hour to go through the results and try a few refined search terms. That said- it sounds like you don't have a "home" directory, or cygwin isn't picking up on it. But that shouldn't affect the path problem... You should have an environment variable set by windows that tells where your home directory is- if you don't, right click on "My Computer" choose "Properties" and select the "Environment" tab, and create yourself a variable called "HOME" with the value of a directory you want to use as your home directory. I think that your mounts may be incorrect- check the documents on how to use the "mount" command- I think there is a -m option or something. You want to make sure that c:\mair\cygwin is mounted as "/". Then it follows that c:\mair\cygwin\bin is mounted as "/bin". Try just typing "mount" at the bash prompt. Well, I am no cygwin expert, and I fear that my comments may just address your symptoms and not solve the real problem. Keep searching those archives with google, they are a great resource.
