From: bandy@aplcomm.jhuapl.edu (Mike Bandy) Subject: Newbie Questions / Win 95 15 Jun 1998 15:16:07 -0700 Message-ID: References: <6vo0$2rppfB@mike.franken.de> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII To: gnu-win32@cygnus.com Hello, I'm a brand new Cygnus 19 Beta user on Windows 95. I have a couple simple questions: 1) What's the use for the "mount" command? Why is it needed? 2) What's the name of the bash file that's executed when you first start up a bash window? What directory does it go into? I'd like to put in a file with some aliases, like my Solaris box's ~/.cshrc. Where is the bash FAQ file so I don't have to ask simple questions again? 3) After installing Cygnus my Windows 95 boot sequence hangs for about 30 seconds just before the user screen appears (i.e. a black screen after the big splash panel but before the screen with the "Start" button on it). What's it waiting for? Thanks. Mike -- Mike Bandy michael.bandy@jhuapl.edu | If you go into a situation with nothing Johns Hopkins University | planned, sometimes wonderful stuff happens.
