Hi All Folks,

I have Cygwin installed on a WinXP PC which linked to LTSP server, 
working as a diskless workstartion and a standand alone PC as well.  The 
PC has 2 NICs, one of which is mounted with a boot-rom and connected 
to LTSP server and another to Internet.

Starting WinXP by selecting 'LOCAL' when turned on the PC

Clicking 'Cygwin' icon on desktop, The shell window popup

$ cygstart
Usage: cygstart [-a STRING] [d- STRING]..........
