You probably loaded the windows version of TeXLive, which is basically
MiKTeX with a TeX editor and another program.  These are made specifically
for windows and that means they require "windows file and path names".=20=
=20
In other words they don't use POSIX compliant pathnames.

In order to install a *nix (cygwin) version (more likely up to date than a =
Windows specfic verson)
Cygwin was added as official platform supported (in TL2009) a few month
ago.

(Thanks to Angelo for the following information:

See install instructions in the below given www site

I am using the TeXLive found in the "install-tl-unx.tar.gz" tarball.
