Reinstalling cygwin will not cause it to behave differently the second time around. If you need a home directory then just do a "mkdir /home/" and edit /etc/passwd to reference this location, assuming it is not already doing so. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/

FW: Uninstalling Cygwin/X ??
Hello, I'd like to uninstall Cygwin/X from my hard drive, but can't seem to find instructions for doing so. How should I go about doing this? Thanks, Lisa p.s. I'd like to uninstall it so that I can re-install it, in the hopes of having a 'home' directory created for me the second time around: C:\cygwin\home\ I read that this should happen if I install Cygwin/X to the properly instructed places in the installation guide.
