Hi all,
        I'm setting up a portable programming environment for Engineering 
students. It is to be installed on a usb stick, have gcc, clang etc and 
I'll drop Notepad++ in there as well as the editor. The reasoning behind 
this is that that the students can plug in the stick to any Win machine 
and they will have their development environment, and more importantly 
their source.

        This is where my problem lays. I need to set up a generic user, say the 
class number, epro1000, that in turn when the "boot" batch file, 
mingw64_shell.bat, is run, it will drop the student into this home dir, 
/home/epro1000, nowhere else.

        In the reading/googling I've done, user info appears to be gotten from 
Windows and then this forms the basis of the home dir path, 
/home/UserNameGottenFromWin. This means that a student logging in at Uni 
will have a home dir named after their student id, /home/12345678, which 
is their Win network login, and then another dir, /home/pornlord, 
because at home they will have a standalone machine with a different login.

        So in summary, how do I config this so that irrespective of the 
credentials used to log into the underlying machine, running the batch 
file will drop me in /home/epro1000 with my paths all nicely set up for 
dev work?

        Any thoughts, greatly appreciated.

                Andrew
