I am having serious problems getting cygwin to work properly on a WinXP. I don’t understand why it keeps saying that the ‘user’ medium was not found. This not only happens when cywing is started, which fires a error message saying that ‘mkdir’ was unable to create the users’ directory and then puts the user in the ‘/etc/skel/’ subdirectory, but it also happens when the users tries to go to his/her ‘HOME’ directory i.e. ‘chdir ~’. In the second case; where the users types ‘chdir ~’, cygwin throws just one message saying: “bash: cd: /home/the_user: No medium found”. However, when cygwin is started it displays an array of messages: “mkdir: cannot create directory `/home/the_user’: No medium found Copying skeleton files. These files are for the user to personalise their cygwin experience /usr/bin/install: accessing `/home/the_user//.bashrc’: No medium found /usr/bin/install: accessing `/home/the_user//.bash_profile: No medium found /usr/bin/install: accessing `/home/the_user//.inputrc’: No medium found bash: cd: /home/the_user/: No medium found bash: /home/the_user/.bash_profile: No medium found “ I have searched cygwin looking for a posting or an email that would indicate that someone else has had the same type of problem, but to no avail. Thus, I am not sure if I have run into a common bug or if this is one of those cases where one has to file a bug report. Could you please tell me what could be causing this problem, or if I have to file a bug report? Thanks in advance. _________________________________________________________________ Designer Mail isn't just fun to send, it's fun to receive.
