Apparently, this is not a problem. Larry Hall replied
to
one of my earlier problems -- not being able to
install
Cygwin at all, which seems to be your case -- saying
this
was normal. I quote him below:

   These messages are no problem.  Setup checks for
McAfee
   because it is known to cause setup problems.  As
the
   message notes, "McAfee may not be installed,...",
which
   is true in your case.

I have to try one more thing -- turn of Norton and
unplug the cable. But there is something very fishy
going one. When I tried to launch Cygwin a few minutes
ago, Norton popped up a message saying 
'hostname.exe is trying to contact DNS server'. 

Would anyone have an idea why a DNS sever is being 
contacted? It *appears* that my set up is behaving
not only as a network set up, but the the 
modem/Norton combination is coming into play. I do
not know what the modem is -- it was installed by
Roadrunner and has no name on it!

As my machine is very much an "out of the box,
plain XP" from Dell, I would guess that this should
not be an unusual case. But, maybe it is not .... :-)

thanks
