Hello,

I have installed Cygwin( in C:\Cygwin) on WinXP, but when I start Cygwin,
the directory I am in is not the "C:/Cygwin/home/username", but another
with a path that starts with "/cygdrive."

I have installed Cygwin on a Windows 2000 server, and I don't see this
issues.

Can anyone help me understand this behavior?

Thanks in advance.

Paul
