It's awesome, if you're still using the DOS box change over immediately.
Believe me now and thank me later.
Yes, it is quite nice. But I'm a little stuck. I'm trying to edit the
.bashrc file with vim, so I type 'vim .bashrc', and nothing happens.
The cursor moves down to the next line, but vim isn't really being
invoked, the file doesn't open, but I also don't get any error message
saying that bash can't find the vim command. I'm not sure why I won't
work.
Also, is there a way to change the color of the user name and
directories that appear above the $ prompt? I find the bright green
and pale yellow not very easy to read with my white background.
Thanks.
Well, nevermind about the colors, because after doing some editing to
the .bashrc file, this fixed things. But I still had to open up the file
with a separate editor, because vim isn't working!
I see. Well then it sounds like it's time to look into filing a problem
report. See the link below for guidelines:
