I've had to re-run the Cygwin network install sometimes.  It tends to
stop partway through sometimes and not notify me.  Re-installing
seems to install the packages that it downloaded before (without
downloading them again), and downloading any packages that have been
updated since the last time I ran it.

You might try that to see if it helps.

You might also need to do a few updates to your Win98 box.
