Hi,


I just finished a new install of cygwin-1.7. It seems to be working
fine now, but the "clear" command seems to be missing:

$ clear
bash: clear: command not found

Is this expected? Was I supposed to check some special package during
installation?

Thanks, I can get it there.

In case there's any confusion over the results of the above, I'm not recommending you _get_ the package from anywhere in particular. I'm showing you how to find the package a particular tool of interest is in.

But why is it necessary? Could it be a problem with the repository I used?

It's possible. You'd have to look at your 'setup.log.full' to see if there were any clear problems with the install.
