After that it seems to install every single .tar.gz file it finds on my drive (And that's quite a number of files 8-) ), so I hit Ctrl-C ofter the first files that were definetely not part of the distribution. /usr/bin and /usr/lib exist, but are not visible. The solution is to first create an empty directory \usr\bin and \usr\lib and then start cygwin.bat. The mounter then overlays /bin to /usr/bin and the directories are visible. Greetings Michael Ring
