I'll go an extra step and actually provide a search string for you: resizable. Just type that in the Search box of the Web archives (http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/) and press the Search button. The first couple of hits contain a Google search string as well. In return, you have to reply back to the list with a summary of what you found.

A search of the archives will prove instructive Ken Actually, a search of the archives will prove futile, as the standard response is, if you want a better setup, code it yourself. Since most of the people asking this question are a bit green in their programming skills, and in fact may be complete neophytes, the response to code it yourself is somewhat cold. How about a kinder, gentler response like, we are trying to find someone with the skill and will to re-code the setup program to provide for window resizing, but as of yet have no takers.
