Date: Wed, 3 Dec 2003 13:57:20 -0800 Message-ID: <000f01c3b9e8$6db0cb40$c901a8c0@macross> X-Priority: 3 (Normal) X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2800.1165 Importance: Normal Hi, There seems to be some odd behavior with the HOME directory. The default profile scripts are suppose to initially set this directory up, but they seem to be failing. I tried this on several different systems (Windows 2000 and Windows XP), but I run into problems. I then created a HOME environment variable in the cygwin.bat file, but this did not work. It one case, doing a cd $HOME only goes to the root of the C: drive, even when a C:\CYGWIN\HOME exists or doesn't exist. What's going on? How do I get a functional home directory system working? - Joaquin PS - I did not find adequate info on this in the FAQ, nor in any documentation files. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
