Hi... Just want to let it be known so that it can be investigated further... Following description *known* to apply to Windows 98SE. Others: unknown. There seems to a analogous problem with "startx" as far as I can understand: I have set SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM /E:30720 set COMSPEC=C:\COMMAND.COM in CONFIG.SYS, "SHELL" is copied into the bash environment... therefore I currently have this two-minute-tweak in ~/.profile if echo "$SHELL " | grep -i -c command.com >/dev/null then export SHELL= echo "\"command.com\" found in \$SHELL, \$SHELL contents removed." fi ... As SHELL is empty "startx" works as it should. -- 8< -- > Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to > Cygwin Developer mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Red Hat, Inc. /Hannu E K Nevalainen, Mariefred, Sweden -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
