Maybe this should be a FAQ entry? I hesitate to do this because it is going to be wrong quickly. What would be *really* nice is to add this to setup.exe itself. If there was a screen which showed download sizes that would be interesting. Getting installed sizes would be very hard, of course. Does anyone want to provide a patch which makes setup.exe show download bytes and estimated download times for various connections? cgf On Fri, Feb 09, 2001 at 04:56:16PM -0500, Barry Buchbinder wrote: >I've got just executables.
