On a Windows 95 machine - quite standard, I installed Cygwin from the
internet.
It didn't seem to be complete, so the next morning I did another install
from another mirror.
In both cases, for example, I am told that Midnight Commander is included in
the initial installation. It did not seem to install in either installation.
Nor, using MC for windows, can I find it on the hard drive.
I went back to download and install Joe. I downloaded it, but Cygwin can't
find anyway to unzip it (bzip).
Is there something missing, or do I need to go somewhere to download a whole
bunch of other stuff?

You were told wrong.

Go back to the cygwin web page and see if you can find these words:
"Note also that, by default, setup.exe *does not install everything*.
Only the base cygwin distribution is installed by default. When running
setup.exe, clicking on categories and packages in the package
installation screen will provide you with the ability to control what is
installed or updated. For instance, clicking on the "Default" field
next to the "All" category will provide you with the opportunity to
install every Cygwin package. Be advised that this will download and
install hundreds of megabytes to your computer. The best plan is
probably to click on individual categories and install either entire
categories or packages from the categories themselves."
In this case, Midnight Commander is available in the "Shells" category.

Since "joe" is not a standard cygwin package, you really can't install
it with cygwin setup any more than you could install Microsoft Word with
cygwin setup.

You can't install joe, but you can install much more stuff than just the
standard cygwin base installation.

Hi All!
I do not have a mouse attached to my computer.
After entering installation setup, I cannot choose
components to be installed ie. I can toggle between
the options on top and bottom of the window, but not
into the items list. How do I select items for
installation using keyboard?
Thx in advance.

You don't, sorry. <http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#PTC>.
Alternatively, you can download everything you need to another computer
(one with a mouse), edit setup.ini to move all the packages to the Base
category, and do a local install from a shared directory (or a CD, search
the archives for caveats) by simply accepting the default selections on
your machine.

The command for unzipping and zipping BZip2 archives is "bunzip2" and
"bzip2" (resp.).
I install (and update) everything from the Cygwin net release, and Midnight
Commander is present in /bin (a.k.a. /usr/bin) with the name "mc." It's a
little too "old school" for my taste, but hey, de gustibus...

Sigh, even I make this mistake now and then. I've symlinked bzip2->bzip
and bunzip2->bunzip on my machine. Perhaps this symlink should exist in
the packaged bzip2? I mean it isn't like anyone is going to have the
original bzip installed at this point...

When compiling, following message out.
"GCC.EXE: installation problem, cannot exec `cpp': No such file or directory"
How can I do fix this problem?
