@subsection Where's the documentation?
If you have installed Cygwin, you can find lots of documentation in
@samp{/usr/doc/}. Many packages ship with standard documentation, you
can find this in a directory @samp{/usr/doc/@emph{package_name}}. In

In addition, some packages have Cygwin specific instructions in a file
