I installed cygwin but with Windoweyes not Jaws. I'd just install everything and not worry about selecting packages. When I installed with windoweyes, I never was able to find a way to get the right selection made to install everything using speech though I'm sure there must be a way; I used my braillelite and pressed andheld the cursor routing button in front of the first letter of my selection until the word changed to "install". -- Cheryl "Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."
