try putting something like this in ~/.bashrc echo "sourcing /etc/bash_completion" if [ -f /etc/bash_completion ]; then source /etc/bash_completion fi echo "sourced /etc/bash_completion" Then open a new terminal window/tab and see what you get. You should see the output of the two echo's and you should have bash completion. I also recommend renaming /etc/profile.d/bash-completion to /etc/profile.d/bash-completion.sh so it gets picked up by /etc/profile. Jim -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
