Run the installer, step through the wizard-style interface and a few screens in (after mirror selection) you get a hierarchical (two-level) list of packages. The Cygwin installer leaves something to be desired, but it's the only feasible way to install it.
I already started it, and I THINK I found the SSH and turned it on.. the interface was rather slow, I thought it went to sleep on me, I almost killed it!
Cygwin can interface with the Windows service subsystem so your SSH server runs automatically upon system start-up without any manual action on your part. If you're running a server (want to log in there via SSH), then this is a good choice.
I'll give it a try as soon as it stops installing!
Cygwin has its own mailing list (of course) where you'll find very much the same kind of spirit of tolerance and forgiveness you've come to know and love here in the SuSE-Linux-E list!
oooh, I don't know if I'm up to that much more abuse:) thanks, I'll look around once I get it installed, I'm SURE I'll have more questions! -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800
