But not what they are *using*, which seems to be the big thing in popularity-contest. Given that disks are cheap these days, and time is expensive, and setup.exe is (as always :-) ) mind-numbing, most users I know just install "All" from the top level, always. Saves a lot of setup-package searching later.. But ah, if we could figure out which packages are being *used*, that would be fantastic.. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
