Hi,
Is there an easy way to install cygwin that is similar to most linux
distros, like typical X packages , desktop environment and other typical
things, other than the pain of selecting one by one or entire categories?
Thanks
Chris

define "typical".


If you need to install X, just selec xinit and most will be installed by 
dependency.
