I have been using DJGPP but i wish to switch to cygwin.
Please can someone tell me what packages are useful and which are not?
Thanks

Hi,
Have a look at
GCC Cross-Compiler. This will tell you all the packages you need for OS dev - basically the binaries of GCC, Binutils, Make and the associated dependencies are all you should need (find them in the devel node).
Remember - if you are compiling Binutils/GCC, do this from the latest versions from GNU, not from the source provided by the cygwin installer.
Cheers,
Adam
