Re: upgrade to 1.7 experience ; Cygwin.bat doesn't find home directory

It appears that bash not finding the home directory is caused by a missing /etc/profile. I copied over this file from a 1.5 system and now bash finds my profile and .bashrc.

Is this a bug or by design ?

Neither. See Chris' email here:
