Matteo,
I don't understand. The bash postinstall script have=20
nor DEVDIR neither /cygdrive/

/etc/postinstall/bash.sh (eventually bash.sh.done if successfull)
-------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
# Bash postinstall script.  Assumes you are running setup.exe 2.510.2.2 or
# newer, meaning that this is executed by /bin/bash and not /bin/sh (if you
# are running an older setup.exe, this postinstall script can't do anything=
).

result=3D0

# Install /dev/fd, /dev/std{in,out,err}.  The bash builtin test was compiled
# to assume these exist, so use /bin/test to really check.
test -d /dev || result=3D1
/bin/test -h /dev/stdin  || ln -sf /proc/self/fd/0 /dev/stdin  || result=3D1
/bin/test -h /dev/stdout || ln -sf /proc/self/fd/1 /dev/stdout || result=3D1
/bin/test -h /dev/stderr || ln -sf /proc/self/fd/2 /dev/stderr || result=3D1
/bin/test -h /dev/fd     || ln -sf /proc/self/fd   /dev/fd     || result=3D1

test $result =3D 0 || exit $result
-------------------------------------------------------------

Could you clarify a bit ?

Marco
