My problem is exactly as of the OP, I can't uninstall X components, they keep eachother enabled. I just have to ask, why don't take already researched and well-working deb/rpm approach? Could as well steal code from SynAptic (f.e.) for the most part. But at least right-click would be nice to have, with a short textual explanation telling user to "Right-click a node to choose action on a package/group". -- WBR, Andrey Repin (anrdaemon@freemail.ru) 01.05.2010, <10:51> Sorry for my terrible english... -- 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
