Message-ID: <20050110161937.GA4004@ingber.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.4.1i I appreciate that Dave and Dante tested DATA.tar.gz. I tried these tests in ${HOME} and in c:/temp with the same results. I do not see how I could have a remote mount. I have not used any in my paths. Just to be sure, I disconnected my I: network drive, as reflected in my new `cygcheck -s` excerpt below. (I did nothing under /managed.) I have all the most current Cygwin packages on both my Thinkpad and my wife's (same hardware). I have the same slow problems on both machines, requiring minutes instead of seconds to perform gunzip -c DATA.tar.gz | tar xBpf - rm -rf DATA Is there anything in my `cygcheck -s` excerpt that suggests I should try different settings? Thanks.
