This is normal. /usr/bin is a mount that resolves to /bin. The directory c:\cygwin\usr\bin is a mount point, and thus will be empty when accessed through Windows (which bypasses Cygwin mount resolution). > >When using the MS DOS Box: > >C:\cygwin\bin\sh.exe > >I see a $ promt, but the same as above: > >$ grep -V > >grep: command not found > > > >During installation I used only the default settings. > >How may I reinstall? > > Just try reinstalling the packages you find missing one by one via > 'setup.exe'.

In this particular case, it sounds like /bin isn't in the PATH, so the default /etc/profile didn't run for some reason. It's unlikely that reinstalling will help, so the OP can just go straight to the advice below. :-) > If that doesn't resolve the issue, please read and follow the problem > reporting guidelines described here: <http://cygwin.com/problems.html>.
