At the "Select Packages" screen, in "Categories" view, at the line
marked "All", click on the word "default" so that it reads "install".
This tells Setup to install everything, not just what it thinks you
should have by default.  (I intend to describe this in the FAQ.)

Ah, I see.  Don't use Cygwin Setup for that.  Use a mirroring tool.
