This morning while installing some new software onto my Cygwin system, the installer was attempting to perform the simple task of checking the size of /bin/sh. But the installer choked, failed, and died, complaining that it doesn't exist. "What the fuck?" I asked myself. So, I navigated to my /bin directory to look for sh. STEVE@scottie /bin $ ls sh ls: sh: No such file or directory "What the fuck?" I asked again. So I simply listed the directory contents and found the cause of my pain. sh.exe For some fucktwitted reason, a lot executables in the /bin directory have ".exe" extensions. I don't know if this is some obstacle thown up by MS or what it is, but its annoying as hell. Why should I have to create a link to a file that should be there in a POSIX-based system. At least create a link for me or something. Grrrr. Stuff like this just annoys the fuck out of me.
