on my emachine e525 W7 home premium I downloaded/installed per the gatech http mirror.
accepting all install defaults I ended up with two desktop icons. (A) the cygwin logo named cygwin. I clicked on it and got (1) 2-3 sample/suggest command lines, (2) my user id, (3) the prompt. I didn't know which if any suggested command to take so exited. (B) a folder icon labelled with the gatech url (%3a, %2f for :, /). The folder contained folder 'release' and file setup. 'release contained folder containing tars for unix commands. Although the name 'setup' I have not discovered the way - if any - to use it. Please lead me out of the woods; I have fallen and can't get up. Did anyone hear?
