Well, yes, it is a straightforward, but I would have thought the answer was already obvious from what I stated. Perhaps you need a hand following through the syllogism: GIVEN THAT: A) One runs these 4 commands in step 1. AND THAT: B) It doesn't matter if there are cygwin apps running or not until step 2. THEREFORE IT MUST BE THE CASE THAT: C) You can do it however the hell you like, using whatever shell you want, ***BECAUSE* "it doesn't matter if there are cygwin apps running or not until step 2". QED! A) and B) were explicitly stated in my post. I was kinda expecting you would derive C) yourself without further prompting. cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today.... -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
