installation help!

[Harold L Hunt II]

Jarva,

Cygwin/XFree86 is install completely with the Cygwin setup.exe 
installer.  There is no need to download the Cygwin/XFree86 binaries 
seperately.  In fact, the seperate binaries are old and probably broken 
by now.

You need to start over and follow the instructions on the Cygwin/XFree86 
home page (the User's Guide is a little out of date, but the home page 
is up to date):

http://xfree86.cygwin.com/

Let us know if you are successful.
