I have a very strange cygwin problem. Background. I have been using cygwin without problem for 2 years. Yesterday I needed/wanted to use the uptime cmd. I didn't have it so I downloaded the setup program and tried to add it. I had a number of problems getting it installed so I decieded to just blow everything away, after backing up my home dir and re-install cygwin. I followed the instructions: removed the cygwin dir, the cygwin download tmp dir, the shortcuts on my desktop, and removed the two entries in my registry.
After the download and the install I get the following "text" when I start cygwin: mkdir: cannot create directory `/cygdrive/h': No such file or directory Copying skeleton files. These files are for the user to personalise their cygwin experience. These will never be overwritten. /usr/bin/install: creating directory `/cygdrive' /usr/bin/install: cannot create directory `/cygdrive/h': No such file or directo ry /usr/bin/install: cannot create directory `/cygdrive/h': No such file or directo ry /usr/bin/install: cannot create directory `/cygdrive/h': No such file or directo ry bash: cd: /cygdrive/h: No such file or directory Your group name is currently "mkgroup_l_d". This indicates that not all domain users and groups are listed in the /etc/passwd and /etc/group files. See the man pages for mkpasswd and mkgroup then, for example, run mkpasswd -l -d > /etc/passwd mkgroup -l -d > /etc/group This message is only displayed once (unless you recreate /etc/group) and can be safely ignored. cp: cannot create regular file `/cygdrive/h/group.mkgroup_l_d': No such file or directory I'm not sure what or why it's trying to do with an h: drive. I have a local c and d drive, and I have i and s network drives, and a z samba mount. I did have an h drive in the past, but with the "uninstall" I performed I don't know why it would be a problem now. Any ideas? Also, I didn't see a /home/$USER ? Could this be because of the problems I listed above? Thanks, Erik __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
