that behaves like linux. but commands like   ls  or cd  arent recognised or

I would guess that you did not install them.

Try the built-in commands.

And then start setup again to install more packages. You will need gcc.

A couple of things: 1) You're sending email to the wrong list.  2) You
are not providing the details that are mentioned at the site and at the
bottom of messages to this mailing list, instead expecting us to use our
psychic abilities to solve your problems.

Use the cygwin mailing list for these types of questions and when you do
that, read and comprehend http://cygwin.com/problems.html.
