I have installed cygwin on Windows XP using the default setup.  When I
try to use tar, I am getting "bash: tar: command not found."  If I try
to reinstall tar using the setup utility, it copies some files, but
then
gives a "no package" note, and tar still won't work in cygwin.  Any
ideas how to fix this?  Thank you.

Please expound. Been there, done that. Hence, the post.

I didn't see cygcheck output attached to your previous post. Therefore, you either did not follow the instructions, or your mailer is broken.
