what I ment is if I can make bash look 100% like the linux bash it's already installed - however, what bother me is that the auto-completion of the command doesn't work like in linux - I mean if there I typed "tr" and TAB I got the commands starting with "tr" [tr traceroute trap troff true tryaffix], while here I must type "trace" and TAB and only then I get the traceroute. must I understand that this is the only auto-completion of the command I shall get in freebsd ? also - I was used to have some colors on the screen after a <ls> :-) so, resumig, the question I have for those of you more experienced in freebsd is: must I expect a 100% similarity in bash freebsd-linux or the port to bsd is quite "incomplete" ? sorry for bothering you with such minor problems, petre On Monday 10 December 2001 21:37, David Johnson wrote using one of his keyboards: > Petre Bandac wrote: > > are there any settings that I can modify to make the shell look > > 100% like the bash from linux or the tab key won't be here so "helpful" > > like in linux ? > > Why not just use bash?
