Sorry to re-post on top of my previous one, but I've had another thought (on a Friday

I think the OP needed to download the whole of Cygwin onto his LINUX machine and then
burn the CD !
If so, then the problem is that downloading off the Cygwin site is managed by the
'setup.exe' program. It might be difficult running this under Linux, though I suppose
it could be

Can't quite imagine why you'd want Win2K and WinXP both installed, as they're
essentially the same thing, but:
You can have up to four primary partitions on each hard drive, but only one at a time

Oh yes - there's many ways to do this, but some have distinct drawbacks.
I too used to use hard drive caddies, but found that they only support ATA-33 and
become unreliable after relatively short amounts of usage - extra connectors are added
into the data path. Also, in some designs, the drives
No, I'm not like that.
I simply answered some questions according to my experience and offered a few

As I remember, the OP was also using Linux. In my experience, while it is possible to

Hi,
I run Cygwin under Win2K and find it lightening fast most of the time. Maybe the
slowness you're experiencing is not down to cygwin itself, but the machine generally
and Win2K's use of resources specifically.
General advice for running under Win2K might help here - at least worth a try
Hi Koundinya,
At that sort of spec, there's no way you are running out of system resources. This
infers that it is most likely a storage problem: either hard drive (see 'activity'
