I'm still a little confused about using TeXSetup...

I downloaded the full package using getfptex. I ran the program with no
command line options, selected "Custom", then selected what I wanted. In
particular, I selected lots of the extra packages such as psutils, Imagick,
netpbm etc. Some of these were installed and some weren't, and I can't quite
understand why, since at first glance they all seem to be on my hard drive.
What am I missing? It would be great to be able to do the entire
installation in one go, rather than having to go back and install lots of
separate packages.
