beginner's questions

[community help]

Hi,

1) I want to know if some software is installed in my
cygwin. "whereis" and "urpmi" does not work. So how
can i do this?

2) No login is required before connection. Am i root
by default?

If there is a tutorial answering this kind of
questions please let me know.

Thank you
