Suggestion: Make the setup dialog resizable

Suggestion: Make the setup dialog resizable

[Chuck Irvine]

I always find myself scrolling back and forth trying to see everything
in the setup dialog. It would be very useful if this dialog were made
resizable. Thanks

Chuck

I second this idea it is a pain to find things when you can see so little.

Chuck, Steve,

Do you Google: <http://google.com/search?q=cygwin+setup+resizable>?  Or
use the archive search page: <http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin/htsearch?restrict=%2Fml%2Fcygwin%2F&sort=time&words=resizable>?
Before you ask a question, please search the mailing list archives to make

I keep mentioning that it is resizeable.  You just have to sit closer or
further away from your screen to make it smaller or larger.

We do this to help with the cardio-pulmonary aspects of cygwin since it
can be used as both a POSIX emulation layer and as an aerobic workout.

    Unfortunately, that method of resize doesn't display
the amount of text displayed in the window.    Of course
 it would also be nice to click on a column and have it
 auto-sort by column and also be nice to remember resized
 columns to stay at the same size next time you entered
util.  Also be nice not to be warned about choosing root
every time since it makes one have to move the cursor
rather than just clicking on through hovering over 'ok/next'.

MS gives you no ablity to install into root -- it asks where
to install and then it creates a dir where you tell it to install and 
puts everything under that.  So no easy way to install into root of 
filesystem.  Bleh.

I've been using the version that is available from the KDE-Cygwin folks.
It works the same way as the normal setup.exe, but it has a resizable
window:

    http://kde-cygwin.sf.net/install/setup.exe

It would be nice to get those changes put into the regular setup.exe.

Where do you think the kde guys got their version?
