Perhaps something in your startup scripts is taking this time. Open a dos shell (start->run->"cmd"), cd to c:\cygwin\bin or whereever your install lives, run "bash --login -i -x". The '-x' will make it print out all the commands it's running during startup; hopefully you can narrow down the problem to one particular item. Also, please run "cygcheck -s -v -r > cygcheck.out" and send the cygcheck.out file ***as an attachment please*** with your next post. cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today.... -- 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/
