When I do, the Cygwin/X Server starts however when the terminal window comes up, I get the two following error messages: xterm: Can't execvp /usr/bin/bash: No such file or directory xterm: Could not exec /bin/sh: No such file or directory. These look like things you would typically find on a unix box so it's not suprising to get these errors. However, xterm runs for others in my office on windows, but they don't know how it works or what to do to get around this. Any thoughts?
