    Unfortunately, that method of resize doesn't display
the amount of text displayed in the window.    Of course
 it would also be nice to click on a column and have it
 auto-sort by column and also be nice to remember resized
 columns to stay at the same size next time you entered
util.  Also be nice not to be warned about choosing root
every time since it makes one have to move the cursor
rather than just clicking on through hovering over 'ok/next'.

MS gives you no ablity to install into root -- it asks where
to install and then it creates a dir where you tell it to install and 
puts everything under that.  So no easy way to install into root of 
filesystem.  Bleh.
