Re: How do I run shell?


I agree.  If you're not getting the /usr/bin directory then something is
definitely wrong there w.r.t. the installation.  Perhaps someone else here
on the list can suggest something else to look at in terms of setup.exe.
I suppose you could check to make sure that the cygwin package itself 
downloaded.  But if it did, then there's something strange happening on 
that end that must be causing setup.exe to choke before it actually installs
anything.  Sorry, I don't have allot of ideas for debugging this.

Thanks. I think that for some reason, the required bin directory is not 
getting installed. I can't modify the .bat file unless I can find the 
directory it needs.
