I installed the cygwin distribution (February 14) on Windows XP and am having trouble with spaces my home directory "/cygwin/c/Documents and Settings/largy". For example, when I run the command "startx" at the bash prompt I get:
[: and: unknown operand [: and: unknown operand export: Settings/largy/.Xauthority: bad variable name
cat: /cygdrive/c/Documents: No such file or directory [: and: unknown operand [: and: unknown operand
The X server does start, but I'd rather not see these error messages--obviously something is wrong. What are most people using as their home directories, and from the multitudinous ways of setting it, what is the preferred method?
Part II
Once the X server starts, the xterms in my session display this prompt:
\[\033]0;\w\007 [EMAIL PROTECTED] \[\033[33m\w\033[0m\]
Somehow the PS1 environment variable is screwed up. How should I set it?
