Thanks for the information, appreciate it.  From the mail link above

Standard: Install texlive-collection-latexrecommended and its
dependencies

If I choose the above package, then setup will automagically recommend

And is there a bit of documentation on the groupings of the files
i.e. what's in each group of the cygwin texlive* groups?
