Sy,

Thanks for all you laconic input.  Too bad you couldn't spend some of the
time you saved with these breif email messages to the list looking at the
email archives that discusses this issue at length.  If you had, you would
see why Cygwin doesn't install in the form you want.  That would've removed
the need for you to contact the list at all, unless of course you wanted to
join the effort to improve the current installation procedure.  Of course,
that might take allot of time.  So you could just look at the FAQ entry:

How do I just get everything?

Oh, if we could've all just saved all this time!  What a different world 
it would be! ;-)

The installation would be much simplified if it was available as a 
tarball or.ZIP file.
