So, this was (a) fun (nightmare)! The first time I tried to install Cygwin, it took about two hours before the program finally sent the message just about everyone hopes for when they install anything: installation failed. Yup, it wasn’t a great start but I was determined to make it right so I watched this video:

It was helpful, though not as simple as watching Ken’s video, which in the end was the one that saved me from all the utter confusion that developed through several nights of trying to install ALL Cygwin packages and inevitably failing. And that was okay as long as I learned from that particular mistake, which is storming into anything really without any previous preparation.
