I remember seeing something about there being a different way to
setup inetd and other such things that need /etc/passwd and /etc/group
because Win95/98 don't handle the user/security stuff the same way
as NT/2000. Try searching google for
inetd win98 site:cygwin.com

Unzipping downloads by hand is "not recommended" (especially if you
don't download ALL the packages). You should use setup.exe to download
ALL the packages to a local directory, and then use setup.exe to install
from that local directory.
