Re: Where to put .bash (and .ksh)?


about .bash:
1. HOME must be defined before bash run. ex: put the following line in 
the batch file you use to initial the cygwin32:

HOME=C:\WINNT\PROFILES\ADMINISTRATOR

2. It make life easier ( to me) to redefine HOME in .bash like the 
following:

export HOME=//C/WINNT/PROFILES/ADMINISTRATOR

Hope this will help.

Sincerely,
Wei Ku
