Yes. You are probably installing on W98? I believe the problem has been
identified and solved in principle and (presumably?) the solution will at
some stage be implemented. For the moment you can get round things as
follows:
mkdir /home/{yourname}
and move anything there that you need to, in the way of your own
.bash_profile, .bashrc, .inputrc, etc. (There may be none of these; but
whatever's currently in /usr/bin/{yourname}/ is probably specific to you.
When I experienced this problem, /usr/bin/{myname}/ was empty.)
Then edit the file /etc/passwd which probably looks something like this
{yourname}::500:544::{yourname}:/bin/bash
to this:
{yourname}::500:544::/home/{yourname}:/bin/bash
If you then close Cygwin and then start it up again everything should work
fine.

Hi!
Today I installed the latest version of cygwin. I have one problem, my
home directory ended up in /usr/bin and not /home. As far as I could see
from /etc/profile it should be created in /home. Has anyone else
encountred this problem?
Any help would be appriciated!
Regards,
Mattias
