|
|
|
|
|
|
<para>If you have installed Cygwin, you can find lots of documentation in
|
|
|
|
|
<literal>/usr/share/doc/</literal>. Some packages have Cygwin specific
|
|
|
|
|
instructions in a file
|
|
|
|
|
<literal>/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/<replaceable>package_name</replaceable>.README</literal>.
|
|
|
|
|
In addition, many packages ship with standard documentation, which you can
|
|
|
|
|
find in
|
|
|
|
|
<literal>/usr/share/doc/<replaceable>package_name</replaceable></literal> or
|
|
|
|
|
by using the <literal>man</literal> or <literal>info</literal> tools. (Hint:
|
|
|
|
|
use <literal>cygcheck -l <replaceable>package_name</replaceable></literal> to
|
|
|
|
|
list what man pages the package includes.) Some older packages still keep
|
|
|
|
|
their documentation in <literal>/usr/doc/</literal>
|
|
|
|
|
instead of <literal>/usr/share/doc/</literal>.
|
|
|
|

</para>

<para>There are links to quite a lot of documentation on the main Cygwin

Be sure to at least read any 'Release Notes' or 'Readme' or 'read this'

links on the main web page, if there are any.
