Having problems to start cygwin



I downloaded cygwin (all packages) on to my machine just to get to
know the bash shell a bit better (I don't have access to a UNIX
machine so I figured that this was my way to learn something about
sell scripting). I am running Win 2000 on this machine

Installation seemed to work fine but when I try to start the
application (by executing the cygwin.bat-file from cmd prompt) i get
the return message:
'bash' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable
program or batch file.

Thus I can't get the bash shell to work.

What have I done wrong here? How do I fix it? If this question has
been answered before on this mailing list, I ask for your patience and
a link to where I can get a description of what to do.

Regards
Kallis, Sweden
