For example: the command line "setup.exe -P p7zip curl" installs p7zip but not curl. Suggestion: Make it print a warning when it encounters an unrecognized command-line argument. So: "setup.exe -P p7zip curl" should print a warning: "warning: ignoring unrecognized command-line argument: curl" Thanks, Bart -- 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
