the only problem noticed is that the $HOME is not set ... if you see my 
lines, you
you can see that it's done.

hmm ... sorry for being ambigous :

- i've installed cygwin with the setup.exe. the $HOME was still set with 
%USERPROFILE%/_unix.
- it does not work.
- i've tried to mount this $HOME on /home/$USERNAME without succes.

BTW , i've seen that the /etc/passwd uses /home/$USER as $HOME. I've 
just tried :

%HOME% = c:\_home\%USERNAME%
and
mount "c:\_home" /home

failed too :(
