If you don't like it, don't use it, simple. The changes I made to the
packages comfort me and help me doing my things faster/better.

Do not use white xterms then ;-)
(If you like some reasons: (1) strains the eyes much more (esp. at night
time),
(2) draws more power [there has even been a slashdot article and a Black
Google for that])
If you do not like the colors, set COLORS=no in /etc/hxtools.conf, or
override them with your personal defaults in ~/.bashrc and/or ~/.dir_colors.

Anyway, SUSE 10.3 also moved to a red prompt, so the idea must naturally be
good. (There's even a bugzilla entry for it.) Don't like it? COLORS=no will
change it.

SUSE has so many duplicate aliases, and I have decided to collapse them all
into the (already existing) `l`.

Perhaps I should add more tuning knobs in hxtools.conf...

/etc/bash.bashrc has been patched to contain a ". /etc/hxtools_profile.sh"
line. /etc/DIR_COLORS has received the style of SUSE 6.x/7.x.

Jan,
Thank you for your reply. That was *exactly* the information I
needed. In my post, I was not complaining about the changes, I didn't know
if they were bugs or not, so I just posted them asking for help
understanding what changes where made and where the config files are so I
can make some changes to set them to my preferences. I think your work is
*fantastic* and a great service to the community. Like I said originally, I
was using "system update" for the first time and I was simply surprised at
the differences I found in the basic preferences and alias settings.
Again, thank you for your response, you hit the nail on the head for
the information I was sinking. Also, thanks again for the mad-wifi drivers
yesterday, they are working great!
