OK, I can do that. However, based on the Fedora bug reports, it sounds like this could be an issue for other "aspell" client applications. It appears that the normal behavior for "aspell" clients is to report an error if the "default" dictionary is specified and no dictionary is present. So it seems like the options are: 1. Change git-gui and other "aspell" based applications to suppress their error message when the "default" dictionary is specified and no dictionary is present. 2. Change "setup.exe" to install the "default" dictionary (i.e., the dictionary for the current locale) automatically when "aspell" is installed. 3. Change "setup.exe" to remind the user to install the "default" dictionary when "aspell" is installed. 4. Keep the current behavior, and let the end-user figure out what went wrong and how to fix it. Option 2 seems to be the solution that Fedora went with. -- 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
