OK, I'm taking a wild guess here, but just in case setup doesn't like the
'\/' in the install path, try setting your cygwin root to "d:\cygwin".
Also, where is the discspace disappearing? C: or D:? If D:, then if all you
have on that drive is Cygwin stuff, it should be easy to track down where
the space is going to?
