Re: hacked package on server

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,

Carlo
