New Install May Have a Bug

[Mark Jones]

I tried to install Cygwin at a friend's last night and after it finished he
did not have the program "less" installed, and his whole cygwin directory
structure was only about 32 MB in size after the install.  I do not have a
clean install as a reference point as I've already installed XFree86 on my
own computer, but my /bin directory is over 50 MB, so if his whole directory
structure is only 32 MB I suspect he is missing more than just "less".

I have helped others install it on their computers in the past (2-3 months
ago) and have never had a problem, so I think something may have been broken
recently in the install program.  I noticed the package listing interface is
different now that a few months back, so I assume that part has changed,
perhaps with an additional feature of a new bug.
