here is what I did:
I had a directory with all .tar.gz from 1.1.0 internet distribution. So I
just uninstalled cygwin from the Start menu, then updated setup.exe to the
latest and ran it again. I asked for an internet installation, and when it
prompted for erasing / replacing the first .tar.gz file,  replied 'N'
(which stands for Never I guess). So it skipped some files and downloaded
new ones. Then the install went fine. I was in a hurry and since my
connection was not that good I didn't want to download the whole stuff
again. Anyway I did it again from scratch after removing everything and
it's ok now, I had this feeling setup was not supposed to work this way.

Anyway, my problem is with ssh .. I have more information:
I'm using NT4 SP4, if I run a "command" shell and type ssh I get:
C:\>ssh
ssh: SSH: no address associated with hostname.
But if I run a "cmd" shell it works fine.
On a Win98 box there's only "command", and I think cvs or wincvs are
spawning ssh through a "command" shell. So it doesn't work.

Sergey Okhapkin (ssh-1.2.27 guy) gave me some insight about what may be
happening:
>It seems to me I know what happens...  When cygwin program is started by
>non-cygwin program, cygwin.dll uppercases all environment variables...

So .. the blocking problem I had with ssh is also in openssh .. for now I'm
stuck with an old non-cygwin port of 1.2.14 ..
