Subject: Wrong PATH and other env after starting bash

Hi!

I installed cygwin yesterday. (on winXPpro-SP2)
I start bash from the start menu enty.
I noticed :
  - missing /etc/passwd (fixe by reinstallin the base-passwd package
    with setup.exe)
  - $PATH is missing /usr/bin
  - pwd is not set to $HOME
  - missing /etc/profile (or other startup scripts, this is the output of ls -l /etc : total 21

During install I deselected a few packages, to keep the install at minimum size. Packages like documentation, rarely used libs etc... Maybe I deselected something important.

Otherwise I use cygwin before and also have a lot of unix experiance ;-)

Thanks for any help,
David

PS: I set OutLook 2002 to plain text as described at http://expita.com/nomime.html#out2002
but my mail is still refused with :
nvalid mime type "text/html" detected in message text or attachment
Any ideas how to solve ? (now I' mailing from linux :-)
