You could send in the exact command that doesn't work, where you're running it from, and the exact error messages you get. > Meanwhile, my only guess might be an errant or missing .bashrc. > > My linux boot is Debian and I am not familiar with the differences in > RH/Fedora which seem the basis for Cygwin (i.e., fstab, ppp stuff in /etc. > are absent but not relevant to the problem at hand.) That's covered in Cygwin by the output of "cygcheck -svr".
