Hmm. I'm still looking at cygwin's user manual. Funny, I
can't find anything on installing anything;-o.

Well, I've already figured out that I can change the look of
bash simply with the window config -- it's the dos command line
window. I've not created it yet, but I found a config that went
into little detail about a .bashrc for it. At least, once I
figure out how to get w3m installed, I'll be able to open it as I
do in Linux with "w3". Gotta look into pico & ispell though.

As you'd said -- laziness. I'm hoping to sell off everything I
have here & buy a laptop with XP Pro (which is why I'm trying to
make XP Pro on this AMD box tolerable). Why XP Pro instead of
Linux? While I'll likely dual-boot the laptop, I'm thinking more
about flexibility with where I use it & what I attach to it. I
don't think Poland will offer much in this way, so I'm thinking
that having a laptop with an OS which installs most anything
(short of going Mac) is a smart move.

Cool. There ~are~ some things I prefer in Windows -- like
gaming:-). But when I use Windows, I miss my Linux.
