Hi: Yes, I kind of did that already actually, I added a "_AD" to all my account username. However this is what I am getting when I open cygwin:
/usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf: Permission denied /usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf: Permission denied /usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf: Permission denied /usr/share/texmf/ls-R: Permission denied [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ This is the permission issue that's bugging me... Thank you. --- Igor Pechtchanski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Sat, 24 Jan 2004, Ling F.
