Take a look at the setup.ini file in your Cygwin download directory, and you'll see that lyx requires quite a few texlive-collection-* packages. It probably shouldn't require so many, but this was a decision made by the lyx maintainer (who just resigned as maintainer). > I seem to have ended up with your "standard" install (according to the > texlive advice that you pointed me to) when I look at the things in > publishing marked "KEEP" and referring to "texlive" (e.g. have the > ...latexrecommended one).

After you select packages and click "Next", setup.exe will pop up a dialogue box warning you if there are dependencies that you need to install. For each one, it will tell you which package(s) it depends on. > The key timings in the full log file are: > 13:23 started whole process > 15:00 postinstall started > 15:12-15:56 texlive things > 16:08-16:56 more texlive things > 17:00 finished > > so I make it 90 mins out of 210 mins were texlive. > > Maybe that is as it should be, but is this what would happen if I had not > touched the "default" install settings? No, it would have been much faster.

I don't need to see them unless there are error messages involving texlive postinstall scripts.
