Bromly or not, note that I successfully downloaded via the redhat choice 
give in the setup wizard. There's no need to think about Bromly. Here's 
are the last few lines of the log from the redhat download:

...

2009/04/21 00:27:19 note: Download Complete
2009/04/21 00:27:19 Ending cygwin install

The install ended, but am I installed to execute Cygwin? I see nothing 
on the Start->Run Programs menu about Cygwin, and nothing on the desktop.

 From the top few lines:
2009/04/20 20:59:06 Starting cygwin install, version 2.573.2.3

What next?
>> Well, I tried something like a bromly site and it died during the download. 
>> I then picked the redhat site, and it downloaded 15M.  Both bromly and 
>> redhat release folders looked similar. About the same number of folders. 
>> 30? Alternatives to zlib.
