EE - 59?16.37'N, 17?12.60'E -- This one has new features (compared to setup-2.340.2.5.exe) that I like; it keeps _almost_ all settings as they were at the last run. i.e. less clicking - real nice. *minor* hitches remaining: - "Create Icon on Desktop" stays set *unconditionally* unlike "Add Icon To Startup menu" - Regeneration of MD5-sums every time "Install from internet" is not selected. (Can't these be saved in a time-stamped file? Then timestamps compared to the download directory timestamp? Resetting the file timestamp to the directory's after re-genration.) - No GUI resize (Yes I know, a major rewrite) And NO, I *won't* subscribe to cygwin-apps at this time. --END OF MESSAGE-- -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
