I must be doing something totally dumb, but I've just downloaded
cygwin 1.1.4 setup.exe and all the binaries separately (my phone line
isn't reliable enough to use the on-line install), run setup,
selected local directory. Setup refuses to install a whole lot of the
downloaded things e.g. less (so man doesn't work) and tar (so I can't
add anything) - it just offers the choice between Skip and N/A. (But,
they are there - the same as the ones it will install.)

I have NT4SP3.  All the directories seem to be installed OK, mount
says things are mounted, and everything setup said it would install
seems to be where it should be.

BTW, I only want a system to load and use binaries (no development),
but when I tried to run setup with only the "user" set of binaries,
cygwin crashed with cygwin1.dll not found...

No problem with <groan>'s - if you can just get me going :)
