Try looking in the FAQ - there's a link to it at the bottom of every message on the list. This is almost always caused by choosing to install for DOS style text files. If this is what you did, be advised that this causes all sorts of other problems, so if you've only just installed cygwin, I'd recommend deleting your cygwin installation directory and reinstalling from scratch. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
