Date: Tue, 12 Nov 2002 20:19:11 -0500 Message-ID: Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii By "fully documented" I mean a complete explanation of all the wizard panels, including all the fields and controls on each panel. I have read all of the FAQs and the User's Guide. These are very good, but they stop short of giving the final details of how these controls are intended to be used or how they affect installation. As a new Cygwin user, I found this frustrating. I have experimented extensively with setup.exe (2.249.2.5) the last couple of days and read numerous mailing list postings, but I still don't have a full understanding of the controls. In everything I have looked at, I have only found scattered and fragmentary references to the UI details, such as a FAQ article that mentioned the cycle glyphs in the context of uninstalling packages, or a mailing list post implying that 'Exp' is short for experimental. If this stuff isn't fully documented somewhere already, I will volunteer to extend the current documentation, provided those of you who know the details help fill the gaps in my knowledge. Thanks. -- 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/
