I've recently installed Cygwin to my XP machine for
the first time. When I launch the bash window, I get:
<snip>
mkdir: cannot create directory `/cygdrive/h': No such
file or directory
Copying skeleton files.
These files are for the user to personalise
their cygwin experience.
These will never be overwritten.
/usr/bin/install: cannot create directory
`/cygdrive/h': No such file or directo
ry
/usr/bin/install: cannot create directory
`/cygdrive/h': No such file or directo
ry
/usr/bin/install: cannot create directory
`/cygdrive/h': No such file or directo
ry
bash: cd: /cygdrive/h: No such file or directory
todd@host /etc/skel
</snip>
It looks like Cygwin is trying to store some session
data. I do end up getting a functioning command line,
but the 'h' directory isn't created. Cygwin is
installed here: C:/cygwin/cygdrive. I've done 'mkdir
C:/cygwin/cygdrive/h', but the error persists. How do
I get these messages to go away?
Please respond to: aisarosenbeum@yahoo.com
Any help will be appreciated.
