Yes, I know I overdo or am greedy.  So, I tried minimal install,
that is:

Stop cygwin
cd c:\
ren cygwin cygwin.cur
Run setup-x86.exe with the default configuration, plus Emacs,
Perl, X11, and some required dependencies.

It finished with no problem and main commands work fine.  Oh!

I see.  But the current 32-bit full-install seems to work (I
haven't tested everything, though).  Does it mean only a space,
that is comparable to the one perl and possibly a few modules
occupy, exceeds the limit?  Moreover, is there no way to know
how many space exceeds the limit, before installing?  I won't do
it even if it exists if it is hard to me, though.

Anyway, it's handy that everything is close at hand. ;)

Ok, I will try negotiating with boss for a 64-bit machine at the
next opportunity.  This is an office pc.

Thank you very much for your help.
