If yes, where it should be? In >autoexec.bat or cygwin.bat or profile? How can I test the installation is >right? Is there any command to test it. I'm not sure I understand your question. You say that you installed Cygwin and now you can run the commands that come with Cygwin from the bash prompt without needing to make any other changes to your environment. You act like this is a bad thing. This is precisely what you should expect. You shouldn't need to make any changes at all after installation in order to run the Cygwin-provided utilities. So what's your problem exactly? Sounds to me like everything is working *perfectly*!
