Hmmm... At the risk of saying something blindingly
obvious, have you looked at the FAQ?  You should have
downloaded a copy when you downloaded DJGPP.  An
online html copy is also available at:

http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/v2faq/

The very first section (entitled "If you are in a
hurry") seems quite relevant and is at:

http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/v2faq/faq1.html

In addition, the FAQ has an excellent table of
contents and and excellent index.  Do these not meet
your needs?

The "readme" files you downloaded with the
installation also contain valuable information that
may answer your questions.

You might also look at the list of documentation:

http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/doc/

Some of that is out-of-date or has broken links, but
some is still good.

Finally, you can search the archives of this very
mailing list/newsgroup - that usually has answered my
questions.

If none of this is helpful, can you be more specific
about what it is you are looking for?

Best regards,

Tom
