Just FYI... ;-)
Assumption:
You're running bash in rxvt (I personally do reccommend doing so, unless you
have a very specific reason not to, e.g. running a number of DOS/Windows
console programs).
1 - Use your middle mouse button. (inserts all of it)
(note: Disable Mouse support, if you use nano)
2 - Hit the insert key (inserts first line, prerequisite below)
$ grep paste .inputrc
"\M-[2~": paste-from-clipboard # Insert first line of (Win) clip
$ man readline # tells more about possibilities.
$ man bash # as does this
/readline
$ man rxvt # also tells more...
/insertion

This could mean that either the package containing 'cat' is not installed or the executable is not in $PATH. A search for the package at http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi?grep=cat.exe leads to the conclusion that you have to have "textutils" installed. > Also when I try to start sshd it fails not finding /etc/sshd_config > file Please follow the installation guidelines at /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/openssh-3.7.1p2-1.README > The third thing I just noticed I can't copy using my mouse. Yes, you can. If you are using the windows console you can enable this in the properties dialog and if you are using rxvt you just have to select the text.
