Dear Debian-user: I'd be interested to know of mailing lists which would be appropriate for customizing the way the shell works, customizing Gnome, the right directories for plug-ins, etc.
For example, I'd like to shorten the prompt in the bash shell: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/TESTS_C_LANG/factoring$ echo $SHELL /bin/bash [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/TESTS_C_LANG/factoring$ pwd /home/david/TESTS_C_LANG/factoring I find "~/TESTS_C_LANG/factoring" too long. Recently, I got the new *.so from Adobe for the Flash Plug-in. For the Galeon browser, it turns out that /usr/ ... /mozila/ .. / is the correct directory to put the plugin in, but under mozilla, the *.so has a name starting with: mozilla*.so (i.e. starts with mozilla, ends with .so). Adobe's unpacked new Flash plug-in comes under a name different from mozilla*.so ; so by renaming the old plug-in and giving the .so from Adobe the name of the old plug-in, Galeon was able to use the new Flash plug-in. So I'm asking about mailing lists or newsgroups about these topics. David Bernier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
