RE: Error: /bin/bash: bad interpreter: No such file or directory


David,

You still have weird flags in your mounts.  Did you follow the directions
in the FAQ link to completely wipe Cygwin off your machine before you
reinstalled?

If so, what do '.\ls.exe /' and '.\ls.exe /etc' print when started from
c:\cyg1\bin?  Try also "mount -s -b -c /cygdrive", and see if it helps.
Otherwise, I'm stumped.
