Andrew, Noone is bashed for requesting a feature. At least the first few times. :-) But when a feature is requested a couple of times a month independently by many people, it gets a bit tedious to reply "it's being worked on (in our copious free time)" [this is not to say that I'm the one working on it]. People requesting features should first check whether that feature has been requested, so as to avoid rehashing the obvious -- that's elementary politeness. Perhaps we should have a "known bugs/issues for setup" document somewhere, with "resizable package chooser window" in its well-deserved prime spot. Igor P.S. Oh, boy, did I just volunteer? :-| Well, when I have the time... P.P.S. BTW, the above suggestion requires no technical skills or learning curve, other than the ability to search the list and summarize. Anyone care to shoulder the responsibility? ;-) -- http://cs.nyu.edu/~pechtcha/ |\ _,,,---,,_ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ZZZzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ [EMAIL PROTECTED] |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' Igor Pechtchanski '---''(_/--' `-'\_) fL a.k.a JaguaR-R-R-r-r-r-.-.-.
