Well, there's another useful option. three sizes: default small (317, 179): fixed size mirror selection (517, 379): resizable + remembered. package selection (517, 379): resizable + remembered. >>What else do we want to remember? >>The state of the two checkboxes at the end? > > Yup! sorry, I saw some patches from two years ago, that brought in useful defaults for those checkboxes. >>What else? > > The state of the keep/curr/exp radiobutton on the package list, as well as > the state of the View button. this is good. > And while you are at it: get rid of the "Installation complete" dialog. probably not. > p.s. kudos for stepping in and fixing setup issues well, there's huge list maxb and others are working on. see the bugzilla pages: http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?&product=cygwin&component=setup.exe #479 is good to go #480 (mousewheel) is broken.
