On "Cygwin Setup - Select Local Package Directory", it says "The
directory will be created if it does not already exist."  But if I
type in the name of a new folder (whose parent folder exists), and I
get this error message:


Could not change dir to [...full path...]: The system cannot find the
file specified. [00000002]
[Abort][Retry][Ignore]

Anyone else seeing this?  This is on a fresh Windows XP Pro install.
