Try to use rxvt, you will have a scroll buffer and more fun at Win9x: Use this (or similar options for the shortcut, all in one line to start from command.exe works too): C:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -geometry 120x40 -bg black -fg grey -cr red -sr -sl 1000 -fn "Lucida Console-14" -tn cygwin -ls -e bash --login -i > another problem is after install, why my user name is 'unknown', how can i > change it. Try: $ mkpasswd -l > /etc/passwd $ mkgroup -l > /etc/group And look in the docs how to modify these files, if you have problems: http://www.cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-utils.html#MKGROUP and: http://www.cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/cygwin-ug-net.html > the following is the contents of cygcheck.out [...] > C:\cygwin\bin /usr/bin user textmode > C:\cygwin\lib /usr/lib user textmode > C:\cygwin / user textmode > c: /cygdrive/c user textmode,noumount > d: /cygdrive/d user textmode,noumount > e: /cygdrive/e user textmode,noumount If you choose 'unix mode' during setup, default type of mounts is binmode, not textmode, which is more real unix:-) gph -- Gerrit P.
