Hello, I am new to cygwin.  I am running a windows 2000 machine.  I just 
finished downloading and installing cygwin.  When the setup finished I 
ran the Cygwin icon on my desktop, got the bash prompt and every command 
I type comes back "command not found".  The head of the bash window 
reads "bash: /etc/profiles: Permission denied".  Is there a cygwin for 
dummies out there somewhere??  I know the Win32 environment pretty well 
but really don't know much about bash/linux command evironments.  If 
anyone knows of any dummy tutorials I'd sure love to know about them.  I 
work at a computer shop as a technician and am constantly helping people 
understand PCs and windows but know it is my turn to be on the learning 
end.:)  Thanks for any suggestions to point me in the right way!!

-Adam Reiswig
