hello! I'm one of the people who from time to time brings up the
inaccessibility of the setup.exe program of cygwin. Basically what I've been
told is that I'm free to work on it at any time. True but not helpfull because
I don't know where to begin because I don't know enough about windows
programming and don't know if these issues are due to a fault of the window
classes not being recognized by my screen reader or if the developers of setup
are using a wigit set that doesn't meet accessibility requirements. In short,
and I appologize for those who have already seen me bring this up before, the
view button should openup a standard listview controll containing 3state check
boxes similar to those found on the windows installation cd and in the setup
program in windows which allows you to add or remove some features. In this
control on windows hitting the spacebar toggles the state from not installed to
custom installed to fully installed. In other words, if you have some of the
components of the accessories group, the box in windows setup allows you to
remove accessories completely, install extra accessories components or keep the
existing level of components. The other controlls which need work are the radio
button for full vs. custom installation vs. all not installed. The radio
buttons for prev cur and exp distrobutions work fine. Finally, the check boxes
for add icon to desktop and add icon to start menu do not toggle with the space
bar.
