Re: how does cygwin see what user I am in windows?

Both the cmd method and the *nix method worked for me, but then again, I don't use rxvt so I was just looking for a quick and dirty fix for Michael. Glad to see it straightened out. On Mon, 2002-02-04 at 10:53, Offord Garry-QA3813 wrote: > Alex: > > I think if you change the rxvt command from th

I've been using Lucida Console since that's the closest that I could get to terminal, but I really would like to get the actual terminal font working. Does anyone have any suggestions? I've already checked the mail archives, the FAQ, and done a Google search, all to no avail. -Alex -Original

Question 2 is very well documented, so feel free to look it up. (Archives, FAQ, etc) Question 1 was answered about a week or two ago but I'm not sure if it's in the archives yet. Just in case: The easiest thing to do is get the JDK for Windows, install it, and then just call it from Cygwin. (Mak

I'm surprised that no one has responded with the "quick" answer yet. We had a short discussion about this a few months ago, and there are 2 ways to get around it: A) Instead of running cygwin.bat, just create a shortcut to run "bash --login -i" B) Modify cygwin.bat, and in front of the "bash --lo
