1) why does it re-ask me for my proxy and not remember my server choice
each time I enter setup.
2) why does it maximize each time I enter the package choice? Ouch! hard
on the eyes to have my entire screen filled with white!
3). How do I make the type larger? 6pt font is a bit small -- I know it's
not smaller than it used to be, but I'm having to spend more time going
through packages to reinstall things. I could handle the small type for
short periods, but now it's getting to be a pain.
These three items are easily adressed with the command line options
in setup, and by keeping track of the packages you have installed
in a little text file.
I then make up batch scripts for different install levels so that
I can create a Cygwin environment on any machine very quickly.
In fact, I keep the "local download" on a USB stick so that I don't
even need an internet connection to install Cygwin....
