Hi all!
> How do I change my start up directory?
I got the following response:
> edit your entry in /etc/passwd. It lists your home directory.
However, I don't understand how my system is working at the moment. This is
what I see at startup when do a "pwd":
Robert Mark Bram@ROB ~
$ pwd
/cygdrive/c/PROGRA~1/RATIONAL/RATION~1/NUTCROOT
Robert Mark Bram@ROB ~
$
And this is the contents of my /etc/passwd:
Robert Mark Bram::500:544::/home/Robert Mark Bram:/bin/bash
It is such a strange start up directory - a folder for Rational Rose. When I
check my environment variables I find these two:
NUTCROOT=C:\PROGRA~1\RATIONAL\RATION~1\NUTCROOT
TERM=nutc
Does anyone know how I should fix this without changing my environment
variables?
Rob
