Re: No /home created after install


Hello again,

I have found the culprit. My DOS environment contained variable HOME, so
echo %HOME% yielded:
C:\
By renaming HOME to HOME.org, and rebooting the PC, followed by a new Cygwin install, the problem vanished.


Have a nice day.

Hello cygwin gurus,

I have just fetched and installed Cygwin base. When I click on the Cygwin icon, 'pwd' yields /cygdrive/c, and 'ls -l' yields:

What have I missed ?
