i just use an alias in my ~/.bashrc file. this is pretty much something i ripped off from my redhat days: # colours for ls eval `dircolors -b /etc/DIR_COLORS` alias ls="ls --color=tty" alias ll="ls -l" alias la="ls -la" alias lh="ls -lh" alias lx="ls -lX" only the first alias is nessecary, but the rest are kinda handy. as for the galeon > mozilla issue, you can do another alias for that: alias galeon="mozilla -n" it's also handy for ssh stuff: alias phonehome="ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]" alias phonebuddy="ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]" etc. etc. -- corporation, n. an ingenious device for obtaining individual profit without individual responsibility. - ambrose bierce -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
