You didn't have the same complaint - rxvt is for use when cygwin is fully installed, the complaint in question is the size of the setup.exe windows, which are used to perform the installation. > 2.

However, I do know how to make resizable windows. The problem isn't simply resizing a single window - it's scaling out all the elements on this particular window in a sane fashion - for all of the setup.exe dialog windows, within the framework of the MS tabbed/paged dialog, on the fly. Putty is trivial by comparison, by it's very nature.
