So a complete uninstall (by deleting the directory and removing registry references) followed by a complete install fixed all my problems except one:
My rxvt shortcut results in a prompt that has not read my .bashrc file. So I hacked the /etc/profile file to include the line: . "/<home_dir>/.bashrc" That fixed it. The rxvt syntax is below: C:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -T "%COMPUTERNAME%.%USERDNSDOMAIN%" -e /bin/bash --login -c "exec /bin/bash" -Kevin -----Original Message----- From: cygwin-ow...@cygwin.com [mailto:cygwin-ow...@cygwin.com] On Behalf Of Larry Hall (Cygwin) Sent: Monday, March 15, 2010 1:13 PM To: cygwin@cygwin.com Subject: Re: 1.7.1: Incomplete install On 3/15/2010 4:03 PM, Roe, Kevin L. wrote: > What I did: I selected the option "reinstall" at the highest level.
