2 questions.....

[Andy Tarkinson <atark@acornbbs.com>]

Hi all, 

I am a new Debian user and I think it is great, although it will take a
little (not much) to get used to it after using Slackware for over a year. I
have 2 questions one more specific to Debian than the other.

First is a problem with dircolors.  I had it working fine (I think) with
"stable" then I upgraded to "unstable" where the color-ls package becomes
obsolete.  In profile I have a few aliases setting up ls, dir, etc.... using
color.  Also I have "eval 'dircolors -b'".  I have the file /etc/DIR_COLORS
with the colors from Slackware, and also the same as ~/.dircolors.  Now I
get a few colors like directories and permissions but no colors specific to
extentions like .tgz, .jpg, .tar etc...  I've tried everything and can't get
it to work properly.

Second is a question with Ghostscript, I use gs to print postscript files on
my deskjet.  Now I use a function in my .bashrc to invoke it.  The only
problem is that when it is done printing I get the GS> prompt and have to
type "quit" to finish printing and eject the paper.  Is there a way or
option to use that will finish printing and eject the paper automatically?

Thanks for any help....

        Andy
