You suggested renaming a couple of things and changing around a couple of buttons: a couple of trivial tweaks that do not remotely justify the term "disaster". In your own words: "minor cosmetic changes". You also proposed adding a feature it already has, a column telling you whether a package is already installed or not. This tells me that you are not calmly and dispassionately observing what is in front of your eyes. > That wasn't my main problem, I just pointed it out as a rather > undesirable flaw in the installer.

Seems a bit slapdash to me. "Slapdash" here is just a pejorative euphemism for "not what I expected". You have to rid yourself of these arbitrary assumptions that are clouding your thinking. Still no log files. cheers, DaveK -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
