Subject:	setup.exe wishlist
Message-ID:	<20020405161936.B21107@gil.physik.rwth-aachen.de>
Mime-Version:	1.0

I recently upgraded from the b20 full.exe setup mechanism to the newer b20.1
setup.exe. BTW, it looks like a centura team developer application
or where does this tree view stem from?

At least it requires a bit 'getting used to'.
Could please be added that the last used proxy is entered in the registry so it is not required to type in the proxy and port number everytime setup is
started. And here I'm already at the next point:

Why did I have to run setup so often?

1. sh did not run in the first place since important DLLs (cygintl1.dll)
   were missing. 

2. grep did not run because of some pcre dll missing.

3. gcc compiler was missing, make was missing.

All in it took me atleast 10 runs of setup.exe to get everything together.

Could the setup have some typical installs, like

   o   minimal (sh, cygwin1.dll, utils)

   o   typical developer (gcc, make, tools)

   o   All 


Thanks. Nonetheless I like this release much. Many rough edges and glitches
like shells in makefiles (/bin/sh: Command not found) have been
solved.
