Hello Marco and thank you for your precious answer. I think that I understand why the Xserver log splash on the screen in mintty. I found an explanation for this around web within a post. It says that Mintty use pty's so "if you run say Cygwin's bash from a cmd window and then start cmd it will not get the echoing. If, however, you start cmd from a bash shell that is in a mintty window then you're using pty's and you'll get echoing." Is this correct in your opinion? With reference to your "open more than Mintty window" (Minttty within another Mintty), I saw that the echoin starts on windows that contains startx script execution. Taking into account your suggested solution I think that you mean to create 2 .bat Win files into the usb eigher containing:
1) E:\cygwin\bin\run.exe --quote /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c "cd; exec /usr/bin/startxwin" 2) E:\cygwin\bin\run.exe --quote /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c "cd; exec /usr/bin/startx" I tried them and they are Ok!The only command that I don't understand is "cd;". Why do you use it? With reference to portable version I try to go into the site but it is very difficult to find an email in wich I can suggest some items to the author. I hope to reach and send my comments to tune the .paf file. I thank you again very very much for your big assistance Alessandro -- 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
