RE: all commands start up sloooooow......



one thing I was told from Larry Hall was to make sure that your HOME
environment variable was set, and it wasn't set to "/". 
Also check to make sure that you don't have any mounts starting with "\\" or
environment variables that start with "\\". 

You may also have a networked path in your environment path, which is being
checked by bash before your "/usr/bin" directory. This would cause your
shell to check your network paths before it checks your local paths, which
would cause the delay you stated. try a "echo $PATH" and see what you
get....

hope that helps a bit.
