You can't complete the install through cygwin. You can complete the
install through VMware though. Get the 30 day trial, create a new virtual
machine, give it access to the raw disk partition (or whatever it says
when you're creating it). I have used that method to install Debian over
dial up in the past, you just need to compile the kernel and setup things
like fstab to point to how it should be, now how it is off of vmware.
I would give it access to the entire disk rather than just the linux
partition, as you can then install grub.
