Sure I RTFM'ed and yes it says that. But I would argue that Keep does not
exactly work the way that you say it does. So not using Keep does not
indicate RTFM status.
Well, since keep ABSOLUTELY DOES work EXACTLY how I described it, you really
need not only to RTFM, but also to ACTUALLY TRY this stuff out before you
pontificate.
website I read http://www.cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/setup-net.htmlIf you select a new uninstalled package within the category page before hitting Keep, then hitting Keep will deselect the newly selected package.
Yes. That's what "Keep" means. It "Keep"s things as they are. If "the way
that they are" is "uninstalled", then "Keep"ing it the same way it is means
not installing it. That's why I told you to hit "Keep" first and THEN select
the package.
Do you really believe that doing things backwards in time should make no
difference to how they turn out? If I told you to boil the kettle, then pour
the water into the teapot, would you write back saying "Well, what you said
doesn't work because if I pour the water into the teapot first and then boil
the kettle I get a lousy cold cup of tea"? Well, that's what you've just
done. I can't help people who are unaware that time is directional.
It probably something about going from Cur version of the package (which was
just selected) to the Keep version (which isn't "install" - so what you just
selected to install just got deselected).
