- The install option will download, cache, and install the packages that you have selected.
- The selection of default packages to install is inadequate, because development and common editors are not included.
- Under 'Devel', select git for 'Install'. Or set the whole 'Develop' category to install. This takes more time, but it is simpler.\
- Under 'Editors', select vim or emacs depending on which you expect to be available from the Cygwin command line.
- Under 'Libs', select libsasl2
- Under 'Net', select ca-certificates and openssh
- Select Python for 'Install'
- Under 'Utils', select genisoimage and mkisofs
- Unfortunately, the download can be slow depending on the mirror you select (~30 min or more).
