Re: command line formating problem

[Theodore Knab <tjk@annapolislinux.org>]

Thanks that fixed my problem.

I replaced my .bashrc file with yours. ;-)

I didn't have a /etc_colors file, so I created one.

dircolors -p > /etc/dir_colors 

The color aliases wouldn't work in .bashrc for my colors, so I put them in .bash_profile

Now everything looks pretty.

Thanks again.
