I have downloaded the latest version of cygwin (full.exe) and installed
it in drive f: on a Pentium-II running Windows-NT 4.0 sp4 (as a user and
not as an administrator.  When I execute Cygwin B20 from the start menu 
I get a window with a single line

     bash.exe: warning: could not find /tmp, please create!

However the window does not let me type any command let alone use
"mkdir -p /tmp" to create the tmp directory.  I have searched all the 
istallation instructions and FAQs and couldn't find any answer.

My cygnus.bat file is given below:

     @ECHO OFF
     SET MAKE_MODE=UNIX
     SET PATH=f:\cygnus\CYGWIN~1\H-I586~1\bin;%PATH%
     bash

Thanks.
Venkat
