newbie Q: list of files I need to tweak/create to run cygwin


Howdy Folks,

I am completely new to linux/cygwin and read all the documentation, but still I don't quite understand how to setup the cygwin.

So far I was able to install the cygwin software and tweaked the cygwin.bat file and created a home directory so that I can try some elementary commands. Ultimately I'd like to run MCNPX and GEANT (both are particle transport packages) on this platform, and I'd appreciate if anyone can tell me which files I need to tweak/create to have xwindow working.

My extent of experience with unix is very shallow and I have never installed any unix software by myself. I just used what was installed for me by the sysadmin.

I read User's Guide, FAQ and Installation Guide, but I still didn't have a good picture of what steps I need to take to have the operational platform.

Thank you for your patience and look forward to your replies.
