No, lots of space left.

It was the symbolic links, they needed to point to same named files in
"D:\neal\UNIX Tools\cygnus\H-i386-cygwin32\bin".

I also tried unistalling and installing in a dir without spaces in the
name, it had the same two problems.  No "setup.lid" file in temporary
excraction dir and no symbolic links.

THANKS FOR THE HELP!
