Dear All, Forgive me, I'm new to Debian. On other distros I've used, I can control the behavior (somewhat) of Xterm with the settings in .bashrc, but that doesn't seem to work in Debian. Specifically, two things:
1) The prompt. Under Debian, the Xterm prompt is: sh-2.05a$ How can it make it obey this setting: PS1='\u@\h:\w\$ ' 2) Xterm ignores my settings in .bashrc and /etc/profiles concerning aliases. For example, I would like to add these settings: alias rm='rm -i' alias cp='cp -i' alias mv='mv -i' set -o noclobber I noticed that under Debian, my aliases in .bashrc are ignored, but I can set them system-wide in /etc/profiles. That seems weird - any ideas? best regards, Robert Storey -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
