  DJ> For a first-time install, go to http://cygwin.com/ and click on the
  DJ> "Install Cygwin Now" icon.  The only choices you should have to make

  DJ> connection, or a proxy to access the internet.

Note that the "Default text file type" might be important, depending
on what you're using this for.  It will default to "Unix", as opposed
to "DOS".  If you have non-cygwin programs that expect DOS line
endings, and they might be reading files you would create while using
Cygwin, then they might not work properly if you set it to "Unix".
Just make sure you understand the choice.
