I know, I know. I should have read the FAQ and the Documentation. I have. And yet, a fresh install (yesterday) is not working on windows XP. It is about /etc/profile that is missing, which results in PATH not being set. cygwin.bat does not have any PATH set either.
In the /etc dir I only have /etc/defaults/etc/profile. Why hasn't it been created in the /etc directory? If I put PATH=c:\cygwin\bin in the cygwin.bat file I can issue commands from the /usr/bin directory but other environment settings do not work. /home/<username> does not exist, etc. Any hints will be much appreciated Thank you.
