What shell are you using???? In bash you'll find the "\w" character in PS=? will show the current working directory... "\W" will show the basename of the current working directory. Typically you can set these up in /etc/bashrc, or /etc/profile As usual, your milage may vary, but HopeItHelps --==jb==-- --- FLAME v1.1 * Origin: The SANDBOX ** MultiLine TBBS * (405)737-9540 (1:147/34) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 176 UNIX Ref: DEC00003 Date: 10/04/96 From: JAVIER MARTN RUEDA Time: 02:04am \/To: PAUL WANKADIA (Read 5 times) Subj: Re: usenet and Linux From: javier@ozono.p7.f14.n341.z2.fidonet.org (Javier Martn Rueda) > I am using SlackWare 3.0 (I think) and when I go to install the networking > "disk-set" (this is off CD-ROM tho :) it asks me if I want to install CNews > or INN.

If you just want to read the news that your ISP offers you, you don't need either of them. You just need a NNTP-capable newsreader, such as tin or pine. If you want to set up a news server, or a fidonet-internet echomail-news gateway, then you need one of those two packages. For example, I've used ifmail and cnews under FreeBSD to set up such a private gateway. CNews is not specially easy to configure at first (at least without good written materials about it, or some friend who knows it, as was my case), but then it works fine. I haven't used INN, so I don't know. --- ifmail v.2.8e * Origin: La ultima pregunta (2:341/14.7@fidonet) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 176 UNIX Ref: DEC00004 Date: 10/07/96 From: ALLEN WITTENAUER Time: 11:28pm \/To: JAVIER MARTN RUEDA (Read 5 times) Subj: Re: usenet and Linux Javier Martn Rueda wrote in fidonet.UNIX about "usenet and Linux": > I haven't used INN, so I don't know. I've used both Cnews and INN. INN is *much* easier to handle than Cnews, IMHO. The one problem with INN is that it really needs a better way to do the initial configuration of the c code. --- IntuiNews 1.4 (28.6.96) * Origin: Mental Vortex UMS Server (1:300/311.1) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 176 UNIX Ref: DEF00000 Date: 10/09/96 From: NEIL CROFT Time: 03:39pm \/To: ALL (Read 5 times) Subj: Columns Hiya All, Six months away from a UNIX box and my mind's gone blank.
