Installation problems


Aside: after a bad week of finding one of at-home's mail routers on
the banned list, I'm back [I hope].

I installed cygwin using C:\ as root.  I observed the warning but,
after asking about it here I said "proceed anyway."

The progress display shows copying to "C:\\bin", etc.  Note the
double backslant.  Directories "/bin", "/usr/..." seem to be
populated correctly.

IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICER IF "SETUP" checked the mount table from
HKLM & HKCU first and installed according to that.

During the install, I got multiple error messages of the form:
1) tar: error creating symlink C://usr/lib/mingwin -> mingwn32
2)      cannot find C://bin/g++.exe to link c++.exe to.

PS: THE ERROR MESSAGE BOX comes up hidden under the progress box.  I
thought the system was frozen and restarted three times before I
figured that one out.  You could maybe make it come up on top, or
change the size or location?  Tnx.

At the end of the install, error:

 Cannot open (null) for writing.

Cygwin.bat runs, and I've attached the cygcheck output; but do I
need to modify anything here?

[two minutes later . . .] AHA!
Something needs to be changed, my "HOME"=/home/superbiskit where I 
mount E:\HOME /home.  But my cygcheck output went to
E:\HOME\superbiskit\'\home\superbiskit\.


TIA
Dinosaur trying to adapt.
