Yes. I just installed from scratch -- download setup.exe and specify a
new directory for install; then installed only bash and its
prerequisites. When I run the default cygwin.bat in the new directory,
I get:
bash-4.1$ pwd
/usr/bin
bash-4.1$ echo $HOME
/home/avk
bash-4.1$ cd
bash: cd: /home/avk: No such file or directory
