I just installed cygwin to be able to use perl, sed, grep and a few Unix
utilities on my Win XP Home Edition computer and I chose Unix file names
during the installation and I now see from
<http://cygwin.com/faq/faq.html#SEC59> that I shouldn't have done that since
perl looks for aux.sh and Windows will hang up when looking for a filename
with com1, lpt1 or aux as root or extension. And sure enough when I try
perl in the shell, it does hang. So, do I need to delete everything and
reinstall from scratch? Any other tips so I can avoid any other newbie-type
mistakes and wasting even more time.
Thanks,
-John
