All this is in W98:
I pasted the output from crypt {mypassword}into the appropriate place in
/etc/passwd as shown
{myusername}:{output}:500:544::/home/{myusername}:/bin/bash
and now I get prompted for a password when starting Cygwin. Nice.
(This is when starting Cygwin with
I downloaded
http://www.lunabase.org/~faber/Vault/software/grap/grap-1.10.tar.gz and
within Cygwin, after unwrapping it, I ran the commands
./configure
make
make install
The implementation seems to have worked just fine: by this I mean (i) there
were no errors reported during the
rm -rf *.~*
ls -r *.~*
ls -r *.pas
However,
ls -r *
works
The rm report (it doesn't work) is strange. I guess it's a bit scary to
risk trying rm -r or even rm -rv, depending on how rm is aliased for you
(with or without -i?). Why not just
cp -vr {important directory with
What about this? Any good?
If the file a.txt is DOS terminated, try
cp a.txt prn
OR
cat a.txt prn
and if a.txt is Unix-terminated, try
cat a.txt | unix2dos prn

Yes. You are probably installing on W98? I believe the problem has been
identified and solved in principle and (presumably?) the solution will at
some stage be implemented. For the moment you can get round things as
follows:
mkdir /home/{yourname}
and move anything there that you need to,
I am not dead certain quite what has occurred here. I was rather fed up
after the rxvt version upgrade from 2.7.2-6 to 2.7.2-9 (or 8, as it seemed
to be announced). What was advertised as a fix (and presumably really
_was_ some kind of a fix) to Backspace key configuration caused me a lot

I had not been aware of problems with Backspace in rxvt, which on my system
has been just fine. I upgraded just now to what comes up on the setup menu as
rxvt-2.7.2-9 although the announcement refers to 8. Now Backspace is
broken. (By which I mean it does not work: cursor and the intended
Sorry : I haven't been able to find any combination of stty erase ^H / stty
erase ^? / {nothing} that makes Backspace work properly both at the rxvt
terminal and inside an application. Previously (2.7.2-6) and with no
reference to stty erase anywhere, I found that Backspace worked just fine at
It's a Windows issue. Cygwin will pick up the existing configuration. Can't
speak for anything other than W98, but in W98 try Start - Settings -
Control Panel - Keyboard - Language. This may or may not have the
consequence of putting the line
c:\windows\command\keyb
Just in case it happens to anybody else during a new install (but I guess it
was finger problems with me?) :
Extraordinary, this. Cygwin (latest version) was today installed
on a W98 machine in a way not obviously different from many
previous new installs -- that is, from a zip disk including
I use a command-line arithmetic calculator that exits in the usual way with
^d, aborts long calculations in the usual way with ^c, and allows temporary
exits to the bash shell using ^e. You can twiddle away at bash until you
want to return to the calculator (use ^d or exit at the bash prompt).
Just upgraded. Now on my system

ls -lR seems to terminate just fine with CTRL-C.
Yes, ctrl-c worked for me too in this case.
'cygcheck -r -s -v' might help track this down.
Thanks for this suggestion. I tried 'cygcheck -r -s -v' under each regime.
The resulting screeds are very similar (and very long) and wonder whether
Try
c:\Cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -fn Fixedsys -tn cygwin -e /bin/bash --login -i
