Phil Couling <coul...@gmail.com> was heard to say:
I have cygwin pre installed on a pc I'm using. I'd like to change the
home directory ($HOME) but I'm having some trouble finding where it's
been set. Currently it points to a drive letter q: . I'd much prefer
to point it at /home/username.
/etc/profile says:
# Here is how HOME is set, in order of priority, when starting from Windows
# 1) From existing HOME in the Windows environment, translated to a
Posix path
# 2) from /etc/passwd, if there is an entry with a non empty directory field
# 3) from HOMEDRIVE/HOMEPATH
# 4) / (root)
I've used #1.
