| I've updated this with the patch from Herb Maeder (thanks Herb, sorry it | took me so long!). I propose leaving the 1.5 as is and just go forward | with 1.7. John, /etc/profile contains if [ ! -d "${HOME}" ]; then mkdir -p "${HOME}" echo "Copying skeleton files." The skeleton files are copied even if the the mkdir has failed. This happens to network users who install Cygwin while connected, with HOME on a network drive, and then later use their laptop while disconnected. In that case the skeleton files should not be copied, a warning should be issued and HOME should be set to /tmp, "$TEMP" or some such. It's straightforward and I would be happy to provide a patch if you wish. Thanks Pierre
