Subject: cygwin download is now very confusing
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed

My last computer went up in smoke and I bought a new system and so went 
to download cygwin, which I had not done in a long time.   After running 
setup.exe, the window where you select what to download and install is 
very confusing.  I have no idea of how to select a default install.  
There is nothing on that window that explains what anything means and 
nothing is obvious.
I think you need to post a picture of that popup with instructions on 
what is being displayed means and how one is to select something.

In any event, after taking what I thought was the defaults, I get cygwin 
window, and when I type in the "ls" unix list command I get back that ls 
is an unknown command.  pwd did work.   This is basic stuff in my opinion.
