Installation Classes for setup.exe [was RE: LibICE.DLL is a BIG problem]

2002-07-15 Thread Nicholas Wourms
Hi, Instead of bitching, all people have to do is click once on the "default" option and it will switch to "install". This installs everything except the test packages. If only people would try to figure it out a little before complaining. Although, I suppose eventually we'll have to get setup

Michael, No it is not amazing that the default Cygwin installation does not install XFree86. Just read the Cygwin mailing list archives and notice how often people bitch about how large the default installation is already. The default installation continues to get smaller, rather than larger, a
