Im a new Debian Etch user, coming from FreeBSD. When i first installed my system, running the "ls" command would give me coloured output (executables one colour, directories another). Also, when I sudo'ed to root, i would get the usual "#" prompt as root.
I then copied over my (straightforward) .bashrc file, and now i dont have the colored output and sudoing to root leaves me with a "$" prompt. (I do reset my PS1 line, but i dont know how to have a different one for root, keeping the "#".) Can someone give me a suggestion? My complete .bashrc, less comments, and with my CVSROOT masked, is: --- PS1='\h\w $ '; export PS1 BLOCKSIZE=K; export BLOCKSIZE EDITOR=emacs; export EDITOR CVS_RSH=ssh; export CVS_RSH CVSROOT= [HIDDEN]; export CVSROOT PATH="${PATH}":/sbin:/usr/sbin --- So, nothing fancy. How do i get my coloured "ls" back, and my "#" prompt as sudo'ed root?
