setterm -inversescreen on
worked on my potato, but
setterm -background black -foreground green
setterm -background green -foreground black
seemed to do nothing... then i realized i have some escape
sequences built in to my command prompt -- plus, whenever i do a
"ls --color" the escape sequences always reset it to white.
just thought i send out a flare to give the folks new to
"setterm" a heads-up on various caveats... terminal settings can
be transient and changed easily through escape sequences
(editors, listings, etc)...

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #41 from Colin Watson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
:
Do you need to MASSAGE A BUNCH OF FILE NAMES? There's more
than one way to skin a cat -- here are some examples of
canonicalizing file names to lower-case:
mmv \* \#l1
rename 'tr/A-Z/a-z/' *
zsh -c 'for x in *; do mv "$x" "${x:l}"; done'
(The "rename" command is a standard perl script, by the way.)
