Did you happen to follow the "setup.exe sucks" thread over in cygwin-apps? Basically, it boils down to the fact that I and others are not really thrilled with setup.exe in its current form. While it is an impressive program in some ways, the UI is (apparently) too non-intuitive and the mean-time between bug fixes is too long. Are you aware of a setup-like program out there which "gets it right" as far as UI is concerned? It would be nice to transition to an open-sources alternative which was actively supported. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
