Ok this is really a newbie question. I moved from W2k to XP and reinstalled cygwin. On W2k, my Cygwin home directory was placed in c:\cygwin\home\gang upon installation, where "gang" is the user name. Now on the XP, it is in c:\Document and Settings\gang. This created a lot of problem whenever I have to use path names because of the spaces in the path name.
So my question is: Is there a way to change the home directory on the XP machine to c:\cygwin\home\gang? Or alternatively, get around the space problem? I read the FAQ, and it only says to avoid names with space but doesn't say why it installs the home dir to a path with space, or how to correct it. I tried reinstalling Cygwin but it didn't offer any choice of where the home should be placed. I know I can simply create another home/gang under anywhere but cd won't bring me there. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
