Here's some suggested text to insert at the start of http://www.cygwin.com/faq/faq.html#SEC23 (Where's the documentation?) (I thought about putting links to "file:///usr/doc" and so in there, but the chance of anyone using a Cygwin built browser (Lynx, any others?) are minimal.) If you have installed Cygwin, you can find lots of documentation in /usr/doc/. Many packages ship with standard documentation, you can find this in a directory /usr/doc/package_name. In addition, some packages have Cygwin specific instructions in a file /usr/doc/Cygwin/package_name.README. Sorry, no patch, but if needed I could make one. (Let me know if.) Another idea (without patch): Perhaps setup.exe could create one or two new shortcuts (in Programs/Cygwin Solutions, next to Cygwin Bash Shell) that point to "/usr/doc" and perhaps "/usr/doc/Cygwin"? They wouldn't be of much use for most of us, but perhaps some beginners will see this before posting to this list. - Michael -- I always wondered about the meaning of life.
