Hi, Forgive the defensive addendum but I've no wish to be either flamed or ignored when I've tried available pathways to solving this.
Situation: .bashrc not working and yes my $home variable is correctly defined but I put a copy of .bashrc into / anyway just in case. The --login and -i switches are used. I even used the --rcfile switch and pointed it directly to my .bashrc file at which point cygwin just bombs out. .bashrc file contains only the line Alias ls='ls -al --color=auto' I even made .bashrc executable using the command chmod +x (just in case) but this changed none of the behaviour. What am I missing.
