Yep. It's a feature designed to allow you to see all of the package information. I prefer this to manual resizing from the 640x480 size every time. Of course, you can always just click on the button in the upper right corner of the screen if it bothers you. I played around with just making all of the screens 1024x768 but I no longer have a graphical way of handling dialog boxes and moving controls around on the dialog boxes turned out to be quite tedious. Since we're using a property sheet there doesn't seem to be any easy way to make one screen larger than the ones that preceded it. My internal cygwin mailing list simulator also convinced me that there would be an eventual complaint from someone with a small screen so it seemed like maximizing this screen was the best compromise as it is really the only screen that suffers from a small size, unless you want to type in a really long path for your cygwin root. The other change that I made was to have setup.exe check for last-* (last-action, last-cache, etc.) information first from the download directory and then from the etc directory. Checking the closest directory first seems to make more sense and I need this for another project that I'm working on. I hope that no one would actually notice this change. My internal simulator hasn't set off any alarms but I guess we'll see. cgf
