This is weird. I had to wipe my Windows 7 disk and am rebuilding it. I installed Cygwin and opened up the terminal. To my surprise, it did not start out by telling me it was copying the bash configuration files. When I did 'ls -a' on my HOME directory, there was no .bashrc. I figured I'd just copy it over from the /etc/skel directory, but when I changed to that directory it was empty. At this point I'm not sure what to do next. I know there are example files of .bashrc and .profile on the internet, but it would be nice if I could fill /etc/skel with the proper contents. I'm a little reluctant, but at this point I don't have a lot of time invested and could try uninstalling Cygwin and then reinstalling. Or I could just go get the example files from the internet because I'm going to be editing them anyway and don't need the /etc/skel to set up other users. Recommendations?
