I do not see any way we can see details of dependencies before committing to an install?
For example, if I want to install Cygwin Octave, I can click on several packages. When I continue to install, I have a page of dependencies, like a lot of libs,that should also be installed. That would be OK if I could accept these, but before committing to an install, go back and at least see the sizes of these dependencies. One good reason is if I want to uninstall Octave, I am then stuck with a lot of those dependencies that are not purged. I do not know if there is anything like a "purge" tool for Cygwin? -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
