From: burnesa AT cat DOT com (Shaun Burnett) Subject: Random long pause when starting bash 15 May 1998 07:15:52 -0700 Message-ID: <355B30CB.FCBDCDB0.cygnus.gnu-win32@cat.com> Reply-To: widow AT mtco DOT com Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com Here's some more information on the pause problem. It's not random for me. I installed the CDK to D:\. The installation program defaults the mount point of "/" to "c:". After correcting this in the registry to "d:", I launch bash via the provided icon. If the bash executable setting (CYGNUS.PIF) "Start in:" is set to "D:", then I have the long pause between the bash window opening and the display of the prompt. (As I recall, issuing subsequent disk related commands results in the long pause.) Changing "Start in:" to "C:", eliminates the problem. (The prompt shows up "immediately" after the bash window opening.) - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
