E-duality Continuous Lighting & Studio Equipment

What do you recommend as far as lights in the photo studio to get you started.?

I'm wanting to go into some studio / photography portrait, but do not want to invest a ton of money right off the bat. I do not know where to start, although the aspect of enlightenment. What power I suck? Strobe or consistent? I normally wedding video and see a lot of photographers who are just a flash on a stand with a light box around and that's all so its use as a secondary light, it is best to get just one extra flash and put it in a position towards the purchase of an extra light? I have a Canon Digital Rebel, do I need get a radio slave to pop flashes / lights? How should I be expecting to pay for a decent lighting set. Any response would be very appreciated. I'm not looking to get into wedding photography, just a bit of subject matter and portraits.

Do not go with hot lights (in constant), its models do not want to be there in 90 ° temps looking to bright light. Using strobes! Cheapo For a configuration, do what I did: Two stands of light (ebay, a total $ 20) Two flash / umbrella holders (ebay, $ 15) Two Vivitar 285HVs (ebay, $ 90) Two sync cables (BHPhoto, $ 20) Sync Splitter (ebay, $ 7) Gray card (BHPhoto, $ 3) Two Umbrellas Softbox (eBay, auctions amvona.com, $ 40) Two shoot through umbrella (eBay, auctions amvona.com, $ 15) AND now for $ 210 you have a decent lighting setup. Add a background and can make indoor poses. For the Digital Rebel, also need a converter shoe to get the sync cables to connect. Do not worry, this is only another $ 10.
