Why?!

There is no such thing as a Cygwin/X installer. There is a Cygwin
installer which installs the xorg-* family of Cygwin packages.
non-default packages I select are:
gcc
vim
nano
inetutils
openssh
xorg-x11-base
xorg-x11-devel
xorg-x11-man-pages
When I start the Cygwin Bash Shell for the first, I get dropped to a
shell prompt and placed in /usr/bin. My Home directory isn't created and
the general Cygwin environment doesn't work--that is, I'm not able to
execute any commands. In fact, no files even appear in /usr/bin.

Any ideas as to how I can start troubleshooting this problem?
Please read and follow the Cygwin problem reporting guidelines at
http://cygwin.com/problems.html. Please pay particular attention to the

It might also help to know how you're starting bash.
