Subject:	Setup's "Choose a download source" screen...

When I run the Cygwin setup program, the second screen titled "Choose a 
download source" has 3 radio buttons.  More often than not I select the one 
labeled "Install from Local Directory".  Unfortunately, setup does not 
"remember" that selection the next time I run it, always defaulting to 
"Install from Internet".

I suppose I could patch the file source.cc like so:


--- source.cc.orig      2002-11-20 11:20:08.000000000 -0500
+++ source.cc   2002-11-20 11:21:13.000000000 -0500
@@ -79,7 +79,7 @@
SourcePage::OnActivate ()
{
-    source = IDC_SOURCE_NETINST;
+    source = IDC_SOURCE_CWD;
   load_dialog (GetHWND ());
   // Check to see if any radio buttons are selected. If not, select a 
default.


But it seems a better solution would be to have setup save whatever I last 
picked in setup.ini or in the Windows Registry.

How hard would it be to implement this feature?  I suppose given enough 
guidance I could implement it myself and offer up a patch.
