Installation was done as Administrator on Win2000. It still might have something
to do with permissions... As for calling any Win* system a "real operating-system"...
I have noticed that changing permissions is sometimes/always disallowed on
existing file even though ownership and the like appears to be OK. Does
cygwin require something special there?
