Greetings, Keith Christian!

> Thank you for all the work you do on Cygwin and especially the

>         Q: How do I install everything?
>         A: You do not want to do this! This will install an enormous

> I downloaded the x64 setup.exe and requested a complete install over

As stated in the FAQ entry, you do not need a full Cygwin install.
Nobody do, not even Cygwin developers.
Write down the names of packages you need, and automate their installation via
script, if you reinstall systems often.
