Actually, I have to say I didn't try that and I really should have before 
anything else.  Instead I went to the Web site and checked to make sure I 
could access the file and then downloaded from there.  But like I say the 
rest of the install from the downloaded directory went fine.

I get a working Bash shell so it seems to be working just fine.  You 
mention /etc/passwd and /etc/group on Win9X and I did get the error 
messages that I believe you added that it couldn't create them but I have 
tried anything else with them - I just go to a straight bash shell.  Can 
you use then login program and passwd and group files on a Win9x machine.
