I run the "cygwin-b20" from the start menu.
It used to say somthing like "out of area space." Now it just says "bad
command or file name."
If I run bash separatly from cygwin-b20, none of the commands work. IE: I
type ls, it says
" "C:/cygnus/cygwin-b20/i586-cygwin32/bin/bash.exe"-2.02: ls: command not
found"
The same goes for mount, mkdir, make, etc...
I've checked the FAQ, and I don't know what to do.

Hey Kriss,
Did you read the readme doc that came with the full distribution
of cygwin? I have copied this part from the doc:
If you are running Windows 95 or
98 and are faced with the error message "Out of environment space", you
need to increase the amount of environment space in your config.sys and
try again. Adding the line `shell=C:\command.com /e:4096 /p' should do
the trick if `C:' is your system drive letter.
There is alot of useful info in that doc that should help
you, just in case you don't have it I have attached it
for your convenience.

The cywin-b20 in the start menu is a shortcut which points to a batch file
(cygnus.bat) in the installation directory. Command of filename not found
indicates that one of the following :
- the batch file is missing
- your have moved your cygnus installation
- The shortcut file (c:/windows/start menu/programs/cygwin b20) does not
point to the batch file anymore.
Have a look at the properties of the shortcut file and make sure it points to
the cygnus.bat file AND that the cygnus.bat file exists.

This indicates that the PATH environment variable has not been setup
correctly. This is most likely due to the problem above as I believe the
PATH variable is initially setup via the batch file.

Another way to fix the environment space problem without having to play with
the config.sys file is to right mouse click on the cygnus.bat file or the
shortcut in the windows/start-menu directory and select properties. In the
memory tab there is a drop down box for environment space settings. Change it
from AUTO to 4096KB.

Add C:\cygnus\cygwin-b20\i586-cygwin32\bin to the PATH variable.

Then I suggest you pick up a good System Administration tutorial.
