Hi, Bring up command prompt and run cygwin.bat in it.
The contents of cygwin.bat should be [for my setup]
@echo off C: chdir C:\cygwin\bin bash --login -i
If you want the Linux GUI feel, then you need to load X-Windows. The cygwin URL is:
http://www.cygwin.com/

Hello,
I installed CYGWIN on Win-2000 hoping to have a Linux like environment and run PERL.
I was expecting to click on the CYGWIN desktop icon and get a prompt window and move on.
but that is not what I got. when I double click on CYGWIN desktop icon something flashes
and disappears quickly and no chance of doing anything.
how do I get to CYGWIN prompt window? or how do I get to Linux like environment to run my PERL modules?
thank you in advance.
Zapa.
