Well yeh, but in cygwin....
/artimi/software/firmware $ cat /etc/skel/.bash_profile
# base-files version 3.7-1
# To pick up the latest recommended .bash_profile content,
# look in /etc/defaults/etc/skel/.bash_profile
# Modifying /etc/skel/.bash_profile directly will prevent
# setup from updating it.
# The copy in your home directory (~/.bash_profile) is yours, please
# feel free to customise it to create a shell
# environment to your liking. If you feel a change
# would be benifitial to all, please feel free to send
# a patch to the cygwin mailing list.
# ~/.bash_profile: executed by bash for login shells.
# source the system wide bashrc if it exists
if [ -e /etc/bash.bashrc ] ; then
source /etc/bash.bashrc
fi
# source the users bashrc if it exists
if [ -e "${HOME}/.bashrc" ] ; then
source "${HOME}/.bashrc"
fi
... so it /should/ be the same thing anyway.
cheers,
