Indeed - having the ability to skip past the 6 'Next' buttons for a repeated run after cygwin is already installed seems useful; but you still have to make it possible for the user to rerun the intro screens rather than hard-coding it to only start at the package selection page (since the intro screens are necessary for things like choosing a different mirror). Probably the easiest approach is to add a new command line option that can be used to skip the intro screens, and then users can script things with a batch file or by modifying the Windows shortcut to the actual setup.exe binary to add the option, although that will still require some user intervention rather than happening automatically. >=20 > The file name setup.exe is ambiguous if stored in a folder with other > application installation files. > I suggest using the file name cygpac.exe and application name Cygwin > package manager. Won't happen. You are free to download the file and rename it yourself, but people have come to expect the name of the file that they download to originally be named setup.exe, and every time this topic has come up in the past, it has been rejected. >=20 > I am happy to implement both of these changes my self but I need feed > back and permission from the community. Go for it - this is open source, so you can make the changes for your own use even if the community doesn't like them. --=20 Eric Blake eblake@redhat.com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org --------------enigB85CFE4646D720193F41D6A3 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" Content-length: 617 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Public key at http://people.redhat.com/eblake/eblake.gpg Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJQWz0zAAoJEKeha0olJ0NqzKIH/iXllv52i7lBD2bWqxwD4Kt0 MByZIWiEh7FJdpAOC25oWe7gcAszAMZFbJESwgRZ7eAM1ANcEhxbw80UlJPgAtBt GtmFmTPtmIuV564io4BxHwGAlgpSnrXjzMfbK+gOCn3iXLPezUkGxfga+mHBoL7K 8Gz8610DXxtz7gUcRKCq6I7J/eOT+CLsxfoepETBe/WwDJkslM9e0Xkuss600riJ hj3GOtIqmqO5panIXkOGbiXcDpcelN0jvBCXRvV1AB5o+PprRMAq1V3sr9FTt0yW IlDHOQKo3B6ZRDjJyavJGj7lHb/UspaOapIkPiGsFQ0ZiU1/DfoJO3YQxFLrcTY= =j6aO -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigB85CFE4646D720193F41D6A3--
