cygwin download is now very confusing


My last computer went up in smoke and I bought a new system and so went to download cygwin, which I had not done in a long time. After running setup.exe, the window where you select what to download and install is very confusing. I have no idea of how to select a default install. There is nothing on that window that explains what anything means and nothing is obvious.
I think you need to post a picture of that popup with instructions on what is being displayed means and how one is to select something.


In any event, after taking what I thought was the defaults, I get cygwin window, and when I type in the "ls" unix list command I get back that ls is an unknown command. pwd did work. This is basic stuff in my opinion.
