I too, would like to see similar colours to what I used to, when I was running Mandrake. For example, you'd get different file types shown in different colours (when doing "ls") & even in vi you'd get code coloured in a nice & helpful fashion. Editing HTML was a joy! My favoured shell is zsh (it's what we use at work, so I am sticking with it) & I've searched for some .zshrc examples but not had any great joy I'm afraid. Please can somebody point me in the right direction? Thanks ;-) FYI: - http://www.furrie.net/cgi-bin/uname-a.pl http://www.furrie.net/cgi-bin/dmesg.pl (The output of this is a little worrying... Eeek!) http://www.furrie.net/cgi-bin/uptime.pl http://www.furrie.net/cgi-bin/printenv Obviously, not all of these are usefull. I'm learning stuff though :-) intY has scanned this email for all known viruses (www.inty.com) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
