It's very good you have decided to try to learn something new. Some of the statements you made indicate that maybe you have a different conception about what cygwin is used for. Cygwin, while a very good product for use on Windows, is not the same as Linux. Using cygwin, you will be able to get an understanding of how a linux-like system works, and you should be able to get comfortable with the environment. However, it also has many differences from Linux, so many of the things you might be looking for on a typical Linux system are not available for cygwin. For your specific questions, other's have already answered that should help you in that regard. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
