Chuck, So-called "top-posting" is not a sin or even a bad idea. The source code for Cygwin Setup is available for download and installation using Cygwin Setup. Randall Schulz Mountain View, CA USA At 18:19 2002-10-29, CBFalconer wrote: Glenn Murray wrote: > On Thu, 24 Oct 2002, Jason Tishler

Jason, I see now that a lot of people on the list agree that command line options for setup.exe is a Good Idea and I'll let it go at that, in hopes that some C++ wizard picks it up. In the meantime I'll muddle through with scripts, lengthy explanations, and hand-holding. Thanks for your response

Jason, Thanks again for the reply. I think that command line support in setup.exe is a great idea. I noticed when browsing through the source code that there were comments about it. With command line support many, if not all of the dialogs could be skipped, and it might make it possible to inst

Jason, Thank you very much for your reply, I am learning a lot already. Keep in mind that my goal is to simplify installation of Cygwin PostreSQL, not to mention cygipc. The difficult part of the install is navigating through the setup.exe dialogs. Your Suggestion #2 reproduces that problem and
