Hi,

HOME must be set before you start bash, because otherwise your .bashrc
can't be found.
So either you have to run bash from a .bat/.cmd script as cygnus.bat,
which comes with B19 or you have to set your env vars through control
panel. Of course you can change HOME in .bashrc, so that it points to a
different directory then.
