thanks to your help, i find now out whats problem.it seem not allowed to change in the cygwin.bat file the HOME dir. here it is suggestet to do.also on other pages.so i first get not in mind, that this is problem. http://www.jabadaw.co.uk/maverik/cygwin.html """"" Using wordpad, create a .bat file for starting cygwin: ..... SET HOME=C:\CYGWIN\HOME\KEATESM SET CYGWIN=tty binmode CD %HOME% bash """"" Because i dont like HOME in my home dir on drive c, i add the line in cygwin.bat set HOME=E:\amiga\amidevcpp I use the dir i install cygwin, and it is no windows homedir. and when i remove this line in cygwin.bat , cygwin work always fast.but because my etc dir is not there, i add in etc/profile a line export HOME=e:/amiga/amidevcpp then all work ok.i dont want now my hand modified passwd file and do mkpasswd -l > etc/passwd the passwd is create on correct place. After bash restart, bash, mc etc all work fast now. So i think its illegal to change the homedir on the bat file ? in the etc/profile file i add the lines here. """""""""""""""" ......
