gamin is a session service; it will exit shortly after the X session ends. As for CPU usage, I have the following: $ cat ~/.gaminrc fsset ntfs poll 10 fsset vfat none Obviously this means that gamin will be a bit slower to catch changes, but that's usually sufficient. > However, you're inspiring me to go back and see if I can find anything > like a HOWTO for Evolution. Make sure you have the cygserver service installed and running, then start an X session (such as XWin Server or a desktop). If you want to use a Google or Windows Live account, first configure those through Preferences->Online Accounts (in gnome-control-center). Otherwise, just run Office->Evolution and follow the wizard to get started. -- Yaakov -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
