Re: recommended initial apps to install


Okay Larry,

I understand.
there used to be a page that I cant seem to find that had a list of extra suggestions when installing perl, cpan, and expect module.


I cant seem to find that page.

I have a pretty good memory what was on it though.

Cheer,s

Noah

Hi there,

is there a list of recommended apps to install upon initially installing cygwin?

'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.
