1. Set up usual SSH session settings in Putty
2. Go to Connection -> SSH -> Tunnels
3. Add new forwarded port. Source Port: 1080, Destination: [blank], DYNAMIC (this is important), Auto. Click on Add.
4. In Firefox or any other program that supports a SOCKS proxy, enter host 127.0.0.1 (localhost) with port 1080.

To do the same with the command line OpenSSH client:

ssh -N -f -D 1080

-D 1080 does the dynamic socks forwarding.
-N says don't run any command on the remote machine
-f says go into the background after asking for password

Copying a CD to a file in Cygwin (using dd or cat command)

Here are couple of methods for copying a CD to a file in *nix: ( from http://www.cpqlinux.com/cdrw.html )

[root@server /root]# dd if=/dev/cdrom of=image.iso
[root@server /root]# cat /dev/cdrom >image.iso 

A guide to use of special filename in Cygwin is available at http://www.cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-specialnames.html.
On my computer, I replace /dev/cdrom by /dev/scd0
