Subject:	New install on Win XP, no rpm so can't intall anything

I did a brand new clean install of cygwin from the internet.
I installed all the packages.
rpm fails with
    bash: rpm: No such file or directory

I searched for anything named rpm and got this:

$ find -name rpm*
./lib/mc/extfs/rpm
./lib/mc/extfs/rpms

switching to /lib/mc/extfs/ and executing
./rpm -i xxx.rpm produces nothing (there is no package xxx.rpm)

What have I done wrong?

Jim
