I went through the same exercise, although my problem is I kept sitting there and saying to myself "Why am I doing this? Why not just run a *real* unix iinstead of beating my head against a wall trying to dig thru the microsoft-isms trying to get to the decent code that's in there somewhere?" So I stopped, and went back to working on machines where I can get something done without first downloading 3 freeware programs and buying a couple of "Undocumented secrets of ...." books.
