Hi,
I've been using cygwin for some time, but yesterday when
I started it my home variable seems to be screwed up.
I'm running NT 4.0, and my HOME variable is
set to my linux machine samba-mounted home directory.
When I start cygwin, and type type "set", it says
HOME=quit
But a DOS prompt says HOME="s:\"
I typed export HOME="s:"
and this reset the cygwin variable in cygwin, but when I type
> cd
> pwd
I get
quit
I have no idea what I did. I re-installed cygwin but this
did not seem to fix the problem. I also checked my
.bashrc for something that might be resetting it, but I
couldn't find anything.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks!
