I can see what's done? That HOME is set? You mean to "/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/mc/_unix"? I believe you're asking for a leap of faith on my part that isn't warranted based on the data you've provided. >> If you still have trouble for some reason, you'll >>need to provide the list with the specifics of what you've done and the >>process you follow that makes your problem occur. >hmm ... sorry for being ambigous : > >- i've installed cygwin with the setup.exe. the $HOME was still set with >%USERPROFILE%/_unix. >- it does not work. >- i've tried to mount this $HOME on /home/$USERNAME without succes. To be honest, I'm still not real sure what your specific problem is. I'm guessing that you want to know why .bashrc isn't sourced. Am I right? That depends on how you invoke the shell. Adding it to one of the script files that get automatically sourced with "bash -l" (which is what is invoked by cygwin.bat) will solve that problem. There's discussions in the email archives about this. In particular, there were discussions about the fact that /etc/profile doesn't source this file by default anymore and what the alternatives are. You may want to review that discussion or even just look at the bash man page and/or user guide to see what files are sourced when and why. There are good recommendations in those documents that will resolve your issue for you. >BTW , i've seen that the /etc/passwd uses /home/$USER as $HOME. I've just tried : This is discussed in the email archives. >%HOME% = c:\_home\%USERNAME% >and >mount "c:\_home" /home > >failed too :( Sorry. I don't follow your logic here. I can't see how noticing that /etc/passwd uses /home/$USERNAME would suggest that you need to set your HOME variable to c:\_home\<anything>. You're free to do so but why you would want to or need to is beyond me. Ditto the mount.
