Installation problem: Bash commands not working

[Juergen]

Didnt succeed installing afetr several tries. What I did is the following:

1) In my office I downloaded the setup.exe and started it and told it to 
just download all packages
2) I burned the whole downloaded directory structure on CD and took it home
3) There I copied the whole thing to my hard disk and started setup.exe 
again and told it to install from the downloaded files (I set all the 
packages to "install")
4) Everything looked fine and after 15 minutes a dialog came up and asked 
me about putting shortcuts on the desktop and the start menu. I confirmed 
and then the strange thing happened: Several text windows opened and closed 
again doing some initialisation. I could see the error message "command not 
found" several times.
5) After that, a message box told me that setup was complete.
6) I then started Cygwin using the shortcut on the desktop and a text 
windows opens and says:

BASH: id: command not found
BASH: mkdir: command not found
BASH: cd: /home/js: No such file or directory

js@JS_NEU /usr/bin


The PATH variable seems to be ok, cygcheck says:

Path:	D:\cygwin\usr\local\bin
	D:\cygwin\bin
	c:\windows
	c:\windows\COMMAND
	d:\GCCPALM\PILRC
	d:\jbuilder4\jdk1.3\jre\bin
	d:\ULTRAE~1
	d:\IMNNQ_95
	.

SysDir: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM
WinDir: C:\WINDOWS


The strange thing is that I cannot find any "ls" or "ls.exe" file in the 
Cygwin directories.

I'll now delete everything again and install again and check the 
setup.log.full.
