cygwin usage on Windows

I have a question that I am sure must have been addressed before, but I cannot find it after days of searching. Of course I am a Newbie with cygwin. I have completed an installation, successfully, I think on an x386 platform w/ Win XP SP3 OS. I can compile a C program from within the cywgin s

Problems with new setup

The new setup (32 bit) now requires admin privileges, which I don't have. I've used all of the usual tricks, re-naming to remove "setup" from the name, copying by cat > new_file.exe, moving to a FAT and then back, playing with windows permissions. It is also a lot bigger than the previous version.
