hello all New to lthe mailing list, and new to cygwin :)
Firstly I would to ask if it is normal for cygwin to startup and just show a cmd.exe black window as the access to the install?? >From there I did a, "startx" and was surprised to just get another bash shell window I presume. I was expecting a kde or window maker style setup from xwindows, with at the least some sort "start" type graphical entry point into the install, so I could start other apps. Doing a, "startx" does just give me another shell widnow, which was not what I was expecting :) as I said. Is there anyw ay to get a KDE style setup from the, "startx" cmd from cygwin, or somethign similar? like maybe, "window maker" or, "blackbox" something with a few icons so I can start somewhere familair? When doing a, "startx" I do have the option of taking of the, "hide root window" option, but that just leaves a blank grey screen, with no-way to access applications AT ALL. Also what is the, "irc" application, is it, "virc, XChat BitchX" or something? Right now allo I no is it's called, "irc" :) lol As you can probably tell, I am new to both linux and cygwin, and I though cygwin would be a good place to start. I have had some limited experience with linux via SuSE aand Slackware, so I am not a complete newbie, but the starting up of cygwin was totaly not what I expected, so it has left me a little stuck on were to go next. I was kind of hoping for a graphical ide so I could start to learn from a familair surrounding you no? I could edit files that needed to be edited in a familar way, start applications graphicaly untill I got used to working the shell cmd line. Any advice from experienced users would be appreciared..
