man cygpath

BASH per se doesn't offer a solution to this issue--it knows only the Unix 
cocoon of Cygwin.

Use the Cygwin installer ("Setup.exe" -- 
<http://www.cygwin.com/setup.exe>)--it handles setting up the registry 
entries used by the Cygwin "kernel" (i.e., Cygwin1.dll).

Download the packages you wish to install (use a mirroring tool such as 
wget, FTP Voyager or the Cygwin Setup.exe installer in "Download from 
Internet" mode) and burn the resulting files onto the CD you'll use to 
perform the installations.
