Hi Tom,
Cygwin has a bad interface to install packages, at least in my opinion. =
However using the setup program and the jaws cursor it is possible =
install or uninstall packages.
Here is what I do.
1) start setup and follow the normal steps until you receive a screen =
with the title 'select packages'.
2) click in a button called view.
3) maximize the screen.
4) Turn on the jaws cursor.
5) using the up and down key, try to locate in the screen the desired =
package. If it is not in the screen, you need to find a symbol called =
scroll down and then click in this symbol. This will scroll the screen.
6) when you find the package you must click in the second column of =
the line where the package is. If the package is not installed the value =
of this column is skip and the value of the first column is blank. =
Clicking in the second column the text will change to the value of the =
version of the package. This means that the package will be installed =
when the next button were pressed.
If the package is installed the value of the second column is keep and =
the value of the first column is the version of the package. Again, =
clicking in the second column will change its value to uninstall or to =
an old version, if present.
Hope this can be useful.

Hi listers,
I've installed Cygwin on to a machine and I'm wanting to add packages to =
the
> installation I have.
When I ran the setup program it didn't work all that well with jaws, and =
I'm
wondering if there's another way I can install editional packages either
using the setup program or using some other method.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Tom
