Re: hacked package on server

Perhaps the screen should flash, and a loud beep

Thank you Pedro. This is the most ideal solution :)
I mean, there has got to be a way to for the program
to ask the user a non install related package, right?
Seriously: Everyone's clicked on a wrong button before.
I know I have - I just don't remember the last time.
The switch from:
"do you want to format your drive?:
+-----+ +-----+
+ yes + + no +
+-----+ +-----+
to:
"do you want to format your drive?:
+--------+ +---------+
+ format + + cancel +
+--------+ +---------+
... Makes it much easier to understand what the software's up to.
That's right. It's sad that I never thought of this before. With this
suggestion of yours, all doubts will be erased about the true nature of
Cygwin. Problems such as not knowing the answer to a clear question will
eventually disapper from the mailing list and we will all be happier.
Thanks again!
Best Regards,
