'setup.exe' will install a default set of apps that's considered a "good base". You don't need to select any additional apps beyond that to have a working Cygwin environment. But there is no "recommended" set of apps beyond that. It depends on your needs. For instance, developers may want one or more selections from the "Devel" category, X enthusiasts may want some selections from the "X11" category, etc. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
