Ok, i've managed to get all the files i need, dandy.

* side note, i am aware that there is a pre-compiled
binary on hub. i'm doing this to see how well kevins
instructions work for every one. (from scratch)

lets start here , first 3 steps
1.Download ftp://go.cygnus.com/pub/sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/latest/full.exe

done.

2. Run full.exe and install in c:\Unix\Root directory.

afaik this means i should have a c:\Unix\Root\Cygwin
dir ?

3.Run Cygwin, and then run "mount c:/Unix/Root /"
this command will not work. it gives the error
"Device Busy" , which makes perfect sense, since cygwin
is self is running out of a sub-dir of this dir.

any thoughts as to what kevin might have meant ?
