Yves,
Yes, taken as such, it's a silly question.
Q: "How do I get the commands I didn't install?"
A: "Install them."
Or, to be a bit less facetious, install the "fileutils" package.
If you had installed all the available packages, you'd have these.
Pretty much everyone else does--they're scarcely optional, as you note.

Hi,
I am fairly new to cygwin and this question is certainly silly but i
cannot seem to figure out what the cause to my problem is.
I have a pretty complete installation of cygwin running on my machine
(W2K) and it seems i never got basic commands such as "cp", "ls", "rm"
to be installed. This is troublesome and it seems to prevent more
complex features to be properly installed : i tried downloading and
installing all the packages listed through the internet installation,
but i still cannot get these commands to be available,
any suggestion on what i should do ?
Thanks a million,
Yves.
