Having used the resizable setup v. 2.418 for a while (under both Win98se and
XP), I prefer the resizable with "awkward other panels" than the
non-resizable. Actually, there need not be anything awkward. One can just
run setup at the default size, and when one gets to the package chooser, one
clicks the full screen button. Alternatively, one can run it from a
shortcut that that starts setup full screen. (This is what I do when I run
it manually.) Its ugly, but if one isn't changing anything before the
chooser from the last time setup was run, one can go through the screens
until one gets to the chooser by repeatedly hitting enter. Not awkward at
all. Even if one changes things from the last time setup was run, many of
the changes can be made from the keyboard.

The 'resizeableness' needs to be fixed for the other panels of the
wizard. If you maximize the screen it's great for the package selection
part but rather awkward for all the other panels. I think that's the
reason that it has not been pushed out to cygin.com/setup.exe yet. (I'm
sure Robert will correct/amend this if I'm wrong.)
