That's strange,  I think the command ls comes in the coreutils package and that
is one of the default installed packages... so, unless you unselected it it, you
should have it.

Try:

cygcheck -c coreutils

the result normally is something like this:

Cygwin Package Information
Package              Version        Status
coreutils            5.3.0-5        OK

if you don't have this package run setup.exe again, this time make sure that the
default packages are installed.  The default packages are automatically selected
to be installed.
