The following seems to do the trick, at least on my (binmount) system
with dos-ified /var/lib/alternatives/* files.
I don't think I'm doing anything obviously stupid here, but see attached
patch. If it looks okay, I'll put out a 'testing' release of
alternatives shortly.

You could try rxvt too -- it doesn't need an X server.

Since 98 has no concept of a service or users you start sshd in the
normal way. After running ssh-host-confi

Hi Igor,
Before I had only DOS-Window for CYGWIN.
Now I have XTERM also.
But XTERM only works If I START the X-SERVER.
Whether it is DOS/XTERM Mode CPU Goes up more that
90%.

Dear cygwinners,
My appeal for assistance hereby revoked. My cygwin root was flagged with
write protection in windows explorer aimed as a protection of a shared
volume in my wlan. How 'setup' has been allowed to perform its doings hence
confuses me.
