Basically, I need a few CVS and SSH related tools. When I re-run the installer, I would prefer if it remembered which packages I had previously installed, and (by default) only select updates to those packages. Currently, I have to work my way down the list and deselect the many, many packages I'm not interested in. This is tedious and error prone. #2 Packages often rely on other packages. The installer should be able to identify this and (after warning me) automatically include additional packages in the install. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
