http://cygwin.com/acronyms#PPIOSPE Seriously, it's far more likely to bring /you/ what /you/ want if you do so. When I receive unsolicited email requests for help from complete strangers I'm as likely to bin them and spam-block the sender as to feel inclined to give up my time to help. http://cygwin.com/acronyms#RTFM I don't think you've read the user guide and the FAQ yet. Expecting random strangers to solve your problems for you when you haven't even done your basic homework is of questionable politeness at the very least. http://cygwin.com/faq/faq.using.html#faq.using.path http://cygwin.com/faq/faq.using.html#faq.using.not-found These FAQ entries relate to not being able to find executables when you'd expect to. http://www.cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-utils.html http://www.cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html Specifically, I suspect your problem is most likely you haven't got your /etc/passwd and /etc/groups files created yet, or you've changed your HOME environment variable. It really sounds like you need to get a book or two and read them, some introductory texts on the fundamentals of Linux/Unix and command shell usage should set you well on the way. cheers, DaveK PS.
