Because of problems mentioned previously I uninstalled cygwin
following all the instructions at
http://cygwin.com/faq/faq-nochunks.html#faq.setup.uninstall-all.
However when I installed again and started up the bash shell I did not
get my usual prompt, i.e. the typical Cygwin prompt. Instead I got
this prompt:
bash-3.2$
Also I was started in /usr/bin.
No /home directory was created. No skeleton files were created.
I thought Cygwin automatically does this the first time you start up.
How come it didn't do it? What steps do I manually have to do?
(Fingers to temples, eyes closed) Quite please! I need absolute silence
while I read your mind and determine your configuration.
'/etc/passwd' is wrong, for one thing. Check 'setup.log.full' in '/var/log' or
the directory you ran 'setup.exe' from (your mind is cloudy - I can't see
this clearly). Your post-install scripts didn't run successfully. You can
try to
re-run them by hand but they will likely complain again until you determine
the source of the problem, unless it was just a question of timing.
