There should be two README files in the directory which holds DJGPP.
The file README.DOC includes a list of files which you must download
and also tells you what you should download additionally for every
optional package you want to install.  If the ftp site you are looking
at doesn't have those files, use another site.  I would suggest to
download and install the following:

   bnu24bn.zip
   bnu24dc.zip
   cbgrd103.zip
   cbgrf103.zip
   cbgrx103.zip
   diff26bn.zip
   diff26dc.zip
   dj112m1.zip
   dj112m2.zip
   djdev112.zip
   djdoc112.zip
   djemu112.zip
   djeoe112.zip
   djlgr112.zip
   djlsr112.zip
   djsrc112.zip
   djtst112.zip
   fsdb104.zip
   gas23bn.zip
   gas23dc.zip
   gcc260bn.zip
   gcc260dc.zip
   gdb412bn.zip
   gdb412dc.zip
   gpp260.zip
   grx103m1.zip
   gzp124bn.zip
   gzp124dc.zip
   lgp260bn.zip
   lgp260dc.zip
   mak371bn.zip
   mak371dc.zip
   split.c
   merge.c
   pat21bn.zip
   pat21dc.zip
   pdcurs21.zip
   sed118bn.zip
   txi310bn.zip
   txi310dc.zip
   unzip386.exe

This assumes you want both C and C++ development, and the basic
development tools like Make, Info (hypertext docs reader) etc.
This is certainly a lot of files (around 10 MBytes compressed),
but I don't think you can easily get away with less.  I didn't
include Flex and Bison in the above, because these are rarely
used (unless you want to rebuild the compiler).  The ftp site
should also include a file called 00_index.txt which includes
a list of all files and their short descriptions.
