One must always submit a patch in order to post to=20 this email list. Please reformulate all your email (retroactively) to be posts in the form of a patch. Chris, is there any way to=20 block posts to this list that aren't patches? Oops! My email isn't a patch either! ;-) ;-) ;-) Seriously, no one expects all comments, suggestions, or requests to come with patches (at least not on this list ;-) ) I hope no one really has=20 that impression. Generally, I think responses that suggest submitting a=20 patch are meant to indicate to the original poster that the request or=20 comment would see more immediate fruition if a patch is included. Sometimes folks expect there's an idle group of developers just hanging around waiting to jump on the next request from the list. Even if the current audience=20 doesn't have that perception, making a clear statement that someone who may later search the archives can find is often helpful. So please don't be=20 offended by any response suggesting a patch... unless it makes you want to= =20 submit one! ;-) Larry Original Message: ----------------- From: Igor Pechtchanski pechtcha@cs.nyu.edu Date: Fri, 25 Oct 2002 12:03:31 -0400 (EDT) To: cygwin@cygwin.com Subject: Re: Setup.exe and accessability On Fri, 25 Oct 2002, Christopher Faylor wrote: > On Fri, Oct 25, 2002 at 02:05:14PM +0200, Lars Bj?rndal wrote: > >As far I can see, you can not select individual packages within > >setup.exe without using the mouse.

Adding keyboard shortcuts to the package selection screen (i.e., bing to the Action column and the checkboxes) would do it as well, I suppose.
