Well, I have installed cygyin on a Win98 and WinMe system and I think I
can direct you to a web site that might help with rectifying your Win2k
problem.
But first my own opinion based on your output:
The bash prompt you have seems to me to point toward a register
problem (cygwin user prompt looks something like richard@RICHARD'SNB ~
when set correctly for multi users)
Secondly, your 'tmp' permission error seems to confirm this.
Check out :

I had to use cygwin for this class 6 months ago and I see that the
professor has the newest XFree86 integrated with the install procedures(
he has them for Win2k as well)
The course software (cd image ) will not be available for you but where
the pieces are located on the web is documented (for compatiblity with
your version)
Good luck (I don't have too much use for cygwin myself)
