Hello!
Is there a list of packages (including all their dependencies!) which
are installed by Cygwin setup.exe by default, e.g. start installer,
click everything "yes", but do not select any extra packages?
Thanks,
Martin
Look at the setup.ini content
Category: Base
There are few dependencies, not in base, that are fundamental libraries
e.g for Bash
---------------------------------------
@ bash
sdesc: "The GNU Bourne Again SHell"
..
category: Base Shells
..
depends2: cygwin, libiconv2, libintl8, libreadline7
...
--------------------------------------
Another method which also resolves the dependencies:
Start setup with "--no-write-registry" option, enter some new path as "Root
Directory" (it will be created but not written to registry), proceed as usual
until "Review and confirm changes" dialog, copy the list from its textbox, abort
setup and remove the newly created root directory.

BTW, the current disk space used by the above packages (4992 files, 581
directories):
148 MiB without compression,
93 MiB with NTFS compression (may result in significant file fragmentation),
63 MiB with Compact OS LZX compression ("--compact-os lzx" setup option).
Probably don't want these installed compressed, so they can be mapped directly
into pages for use (almost vfork).
Attached is a categorized list of Base category and dependent packages of
utilities and libraries.
I notice libreadline... and libssl... are marked as *Base* category, but is
there any purpose here, as no utilities are installed, or is it just to ensure
there is sufficient space available for them?
[CC cygwin-apps]
Should we drop that category from those library packages?
