Cygwin Newbie Question

Fri Mar 28 23:48:00 GMT 2003

The process I used was the following:
Click setup.exe -->
Installation Type=install from internet -->
(Root Directory = c:\cygwin)&&(Install for all users)&&(Default Text 
Type=Unix) -->
Local Package Directory =c:\...\Desktop -->
Internet Connection=Direct -->
Download Site=I Forget -->
(View=Category=Install All)&& Checkbox.Curr is clicked -->
After this I just let it install and clicked create shortcuts.
In previous installations I was able to create the home directory.
And set the variables in bash.
How would I create the /dev directory and why isnt setup.exe not working 
correctly? And why is bash_history in the c drive?
Thanks again,
Dave
