problems</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It seems that the batch files for starting
kde-cygwin mangles my Windows account name, thus making a lot of weird stuff
when trying to copy and create preferences to my home dir.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My username is "Erik Montnémery" and obviously
contains a space and an extended character. At first try, the batch script
really messed up, and i enclosed all paths in "" like so:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>mkdir %CYGWIN_ROOT%\home\%USERNAME% </FONT><FONT
face=Arial size=2>--> </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>mkdir
"%CYGWIN_ROOT%\home\%USERNAME%"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I think the batch files are actually incorrect as
is, and all paths should be enclosed in "", things would mess up just as bad
if cygwin was installed in "c:\Program Files\cygwin", which i guess isn't that
exotic.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>That removed some of the errors, however the 'é'
gets mangled at some time and most files are thus copied to /home/cygwin/Erik
Montn‚mery instead of to my home directory. (It's not that I don't like this
Erik Montn‚mery guy, he's probably nice, but I'd rather keep my files in my
own homedir)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What can I do to make things behave nicer? Should
i just rename my windows account? No other apps seems to be bothered by it
though, and i kind of like the idea of the account name having the same name
as me.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Regards,</FONT></DIV>
