If you don't install any of the gcc-mingw- upgrade stuff (devel tab

It's not possible to install one without the other, at least not without overriding setup.exe's wishes, because gcc-core includes gcc-mingw-core on the "requries" line, and similarly for all the other modules. This means if you select one the other will be added automatically.

And, implied by Brian's response but is worthwhile to state explicitly, if you choose to override setup.exe's defaults here, it's assumed that you know what you're doing (i.e. what the consequences are, etc.) But then you're creating a custom installation of Cygwin and such installs are not supported by this list. That means you're on your own if you run into problems. I don't know if this situation applies to Lloyd's case or not. But I thought it prudent to tie up any perceived loophole here. :-)
