I deleted the whole registry key containing existing cygwin mounts, and went back to zero. Then, in SETUP.EXE, I did _NOT_ use my C:\ as root, I used a directory name "C:\@" (mostly because is sorts low). Everything downloaded and installed correctly, I can get into bash and launch a few things that I know how to use. OK, DJ, I know I was warned. Obviously, the "C://bin" display in the previous case was the key. The "//" must be a black hole. I'll take a look myself, come Monday. Good weekend again! -- David A.
