Here is the relevant information:

9. How do I just get everything?

Long ago, the default was to install everything, much to the irritation of
most users. Now the default is to install only a basic core of packages.
Cygwin Setup is designed to make it easy to browse categories and select
what you want to install or omit from those categories. It's also easy to
install everything:

1. At the ``Select Packages'' screen, in ``Categories'' view, at the line
marked ``All'', click on the word ``default'' so that it changes to
``install''. (Be patient, there is some computing to do at this step. It may
take a second or two to register the change.) This tells Setup to install
everything, not just what it thinks you should have by default.

Notes:

The cygwin installer is a disaster. If this project follows the norm of
"open source" projects, you will be accused of incompetence and/or
conspiracy with Microsoft if you point this out. However, it's obvious.

Based on two installs I did, it's easy to get the "cygintl-3.dll problem"
without doing anything wrong. Sometimes the installer (or perhaps the mirror
site?) fails to include it even though it seems necessary.

I find it somewhat amusing that UNIX activists choose to try to convert
windows people by using non-standard installers that don't work. This is the
mark of a "thin intelligence," or someone who can handle pre-defined tasks
but is incapable of critical thinking.
