Yes, you are definitely wasting your time, if you are trying to install
Xfree86
using setup.exe. Just like setup.exe for Adobe Photoshop will install
Microsoft
PhotoDraw, setup.exe for Cygwin 1.1.x will not do a magick to download
XFree86
bzip2 compressed file and install it.
DOWLOAD from FTP server and install /usr/X11R6

Yes you better quit before it bite you. The magic is never documented, that
is why it is called magic ;)
