Hello -

I've been installing Cygwin in our computing lab and while the Windows XP
installs have been fine, I've been getting some weird results on our
Windows 2000 systems.  I read the FAQ, but was wondering if there are
some gotchas for Windows 2000 that I've missed.

Some extra pertinent info:
	Since it's a closed network, I downloaded the install, burned it
	to CD and have been running setup.exe after copying everything to
	the target system.  The install seems to work OK, except that on
	the Windows 2000 systems only the bash icon shows up on the desktop
	even when selecting for all icons (sometimes that query doesn't
	even come up at the end of the install tho').

	Since it's a lab, these are all shared systems.  Generally we're
	able to run startxwin.bat the first time with no problems, but the
	leftover file and directory under /tmp are a problem.

	I am a *NIX admin, so not highly versed in Windows (but learning
	more and more everyday :-).

Any help would be appreciated,
Debbie
