Are you seeing something different? Yes. I just installed from scratch -- download setup.exe and specify a new directory for install; then installed only bash and its prerequisites. When I run the default cygwin.bat in the new directory, I get: bash-4.1$ pwd /usr/bin bash-4.1$ echo $HOME /home/avk bash-4.1$ cd bash: cd: /home/avk: No such file or directory -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
