hello there,
I've just installed from "setup.exe" launched from www.cygwin.com

"sub-system MS-DOS 16 bits" titled warning window appears on
Windows2000 (service pack2)
(without ntsec, just set CYGWIN=tty notitle glob)

Still the wrong mailing list. This problem is application specific. The
application in question needs to provide the specific Cygwin DLL version
it requires. The Cygwin community is not responsible for maintaining or

Look at /etc/profile. This uses $HOME if it is set under Windows,
otherwise it uses /home/$USER. You can certainly tweak this to your
needs.
A simpler option may be to mount your new disk on /home, then you
don't have to fiddle with $HOME.
