Setup for "basic" development

Setup for "basic" development

[xtheunknown0]

Hi, I've used various distros of Linux *just* long enough to know commands
like ls, cat, gcc something -o something, and cd. I was trying to setup
Cygwin but when I got to the window with stacks of checkboxes to tick or not
tick I got bewildered. What do I tick so that I can compile simple C
programs, use basic Unix commands, have Vim, ie. use a Linux shell to
replace Command Prompt?

TIA
Albert

This has nothing to do with Cygwin/X.  Please check out the mailing
lists at http://cygwin.com/lists.html and then decide to move to the
cygwin mailing list.

To answer your question, the basic Cygwin install will provide you with
the bash shell.  If you want 'vim', then check the 'vim' checkbox.  If
you want a compiler use 'gcc'.
