Whenever you put in a space, Cygwin seems to reject it. Hmm. Just got a similar question on irc a while ago. Cygwin doesn't use : or \. Use: cd "/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/Ben/Desktop" And, btw, your "newbie-friendly" comment shows that you apparently have no idea what Cygwin is and possibly have no idea what Linux is all about. The project is geared towards people who understand a UNIX(tm) environment. If that isn't you, then it's hard to see why you're dabbling with Ubuntu. cgf -- 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/
