I did not change anything in the "Publishing" section, so all were at
default, unless one of my other choices chnaged them due to dependencies
(see end of this post as well). Elsewhere as far as I remember I added all
of X11, python, and editors, rxvt , tcsh shell, and Imagemagick. Of those
the only mildly suspicious one is the tex wysiwyg editor.

I seem to have ended up with your "standard" install (according to the
texlive advice that you pointed me to) when I look at the things in
publishing marked "KEEP" and referring to "texlive" (e.g. have the
...latexrecommended one). (Is there any other way to know what non standard
items one chose in the future?).

The key timings in the full log file are:
13:23 started whole process
15:00 postinstall started
15:12-15:56 texlive things
16:08-16:56 more texlive things
17:00 finished

so I make it 90 mins out of 210 mins were texlive.

Maybe that is as it should be, but is this what would happen if I had not
touched the "default" install settings?

I think like others, I nearly lost faith that my computer was still working
- it was only because I knew cygwin was so valuable to me that I persevered.
In a first time try I might well have given up.

(The upside of this is I can try and see if this latex install copes on a
file someone sent me where my ubuntu one failed!)

I notice the following lines near the top of the log files:

I don't know if that indicates extra dependencies beyond the default, and if
so I wonder what triggered them.

I can send you the log files if you suggest where best to send them.

Cheers

Jeremy
