I'm using the Cygwin shell and it is not working. I downloaded the file to C. I type: cd C:\ So far, so good. The (zippied) file ubutuntu-8.04-desktop-i386.iso is sitting in C:\. So I type: md5sum ubutuntu-8.04-desktop-i386.iso "No such file or directory." Ah well. Cygwin does not seem to be a very newbie-friendly application. "Help cd" offers one a starkly technical little paragraph. Incidentally, how does one even go to the Desktop directory (which lies at C:\Documents and Settings\Ben\Desktop for me) with Cygwin? Whenever you put in a space, Cygwin seems to reject it. - Ben -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
