My problems began(I think) when I installed heroku toolbelt for facebook app creation...I went through some initial hiccups(with ssh etc) and had to solve them (while working with cmd.exe). Well my life went fine until later on I fired up cygwin and realized that my intial directory has now been changed from "c:/cygwin/home/username" to "c:/Documents and Settings/username"... I "tried" to fix the problem by googling around(mkpasswd and all that) and I think I've made the problem no better(if not worse).... I really need some help guys. Thanks. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
