Here's the synopsis of this thread and other recent conversations: - explicit depends checking (perhaps enforced) - what to do about cached packages of wrong size - ordering of the unpack/replace (davek) (potentially grooming setup.hints to remove cycles) - older package no longer on mirror or cache = odd version cycling - context sensitive help or embedded .chm/.hlp (or maybe just a button that launches url shortcut to online manual) - save window position and misc settings (possibly default to a percentage of screen rather than tiny size) - deprecate needless user-mode mounts - have intelligence when unpacking that path is valid (and/or check mounts for garbage, but careful of network drives) - warn if user's mirror is not on current list - function without needing cygwin.com phonehome; potentially cache mirrors.lst - manifest for themed controls - accessibility or just less confusing package selection widget (or maybe just a way to uninstall things like X11 easily) - show disk space usage during selection (and anything else useful like ldesc) - ftp connections shouldn't be kept open during package selection - offer user chance to view READMEs after installation (or provide pointer to their location) - setup is totally unresponsive to input during long md5 checks of local package repo Well, it sure ain't pretty and I can tell for you a fact that they're not all getting fixed in this lifetime. But it's good to have a list at least. If there was anything I missed, please add. Brian
