Yes, where to put /home.
Basically, the path differences between unix and cygwin are the most frustrating things about using cygwin.
The most common installation configuration is to have c:\cygwin\home
be the location for home directories.
I have also seen some cygwins installed where the home directory coincides with the windows user documnets/settings directory. I think this varies depending on the version of windows you are using (2000 vs xp?).
you can set the HOME environment variable (control panel - system - advanced) be any directory you want, and you can edit the properties of the cygwin shortcut to start with %HOME% as the working directory.
