comments about that:
- the setup version that is currently on the cygwin home page does not have
this feature: it cycles between default, install, reinstall
- it's not an incredible piece of user friendly design. I didn't have a clue
you could click there and what the effect would be. Don't get me wrong,
being able to do global stuff per category *is* a very nice feature. So,
maybe some online help (or just 1 or 2 sentences at the bottom of the dialog
box) could sort that out.
- what's the difference between 'default' and 'install'?
- it should be very easy to add 'remove' as well. This will finally give us
a means to remove cygwin (or just a part of it) easily.
