You must be running under the bash prompt (you normally get it by starting 
the cygnus shortcut on the programs menu) for this to work.  Also try "cd /; 
mkdir bin"    I'm a newbie as far as W2K is concerned, and it has worse 
problems with cygwin.  Bummer, I thought maybe it would run cygwin as well as 
W9x and NT in their good moments.
