help! cygwin window linux cmds dont work/ not recognised

[edzio]

Hi,
I just installed cygwin from cygwin.com, the window opens with a bash-3.2$ 
prompt no colon - i am trying cygwin to have a command line c++ compiler
that behaves like linux. but commands like   ls  or cd  arent recognised or
any command at all... what am i missing?
