Alex,

To expand on this a bit:
/usr/bin exists only as a virtual mount point.  You can create a bin
subdirectory in /usr if you wish to see it in the directory listing.  You
will either have to do it through windows, or via the following sequence:

$ mount -m | grep /usr/bin\"
mount -f -s -b "C:/cygwin/bin" "/usr/bin"
$ umount -s /usr/bin
$ mkdir /usr/bin

Now cut and paste the output of "mount -m" here

$ mount -f -s -b "C:/cygwin/bin" "/usr/bin"

You should now see /usr/bin in `ls /usr`.
Hope this helps.
	Igor
