More on my problem with installing XFree86 on Win2000

["Chizhik, Andrew" <AnChizhik at ekmail dot com>]

After some digging around and manual unzipping and untaring, I've narrowed
down my installation problem to this: I can't make a directory named "fonts"
in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11, which is where it would be put by the installer. The
funny thing is that if I were to call it "font", it works just fine. When I
try to mkdir, I get the following error:

$ mkdir fonts
mkdir: cannot create directory `fonts': no medium

If I create the folder in Windows Explorer, the creation works fine, and if
I do "ls", the folder name shows up. However, if I try to do ANYTHING to it
in Cygwin, it gives me a "No such file or directory" error.

Does anyone know what this stuff means? Is there some specific information
about my system/setup that I could give that would help in figuring out this
problem?

Thanks in advance.
