The toolchains will be updated again in a few weeks at most - at that point libnds in particular will be dependent on the new toolchain. I am also currently investigating the possibility of providing an updater for linux and OSX in order to keep the users on those platforms up to date as well.

Feature request: separate the "download" and "install" phases so that the "download" can be done on a PC with broadband and a USB stick or CD burner and the "install" can be done on a PC with dial-up or no Internet at all. Cygwin's installer can do this.

Feature request: a "download source for everything" checkbox like the DJGPP file picker does.

So can the devkitPro installer.

The installer is already complex enough, thanks.
