Yeah, agree. That's why I was going to see about implementing it because the .exe could remain self-contained. > Perhaps setup.exe could have a button to launch the default browser to > open the online Cygwin docs from setup.exe.

That reminds me... another idea that cgf mentioned earlier was having setup.exe offer to show the README files of packages it just installed. For me, I think I would want it to launch in the default browser of choice, but you could also just spawn a console with 'less'. Brian
