I installed RealPlayer, the R statistical system, Kerberos for Windows, and KLP (for Kerberos printing), but I doubt those are related to the issue, and I also need this software more than I need bash to directly work in rxvt. I usually just use a shortcut to a script that runs "rxvt -e bash --login -i". I can't think of any way other than using the -e argument to directly run bash in rxvt. Any workarounds would also be appreciated. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
