Re: Terminal Problems


Wonderful!  That fixed it.  In my blackbox menu file, I changed it to:
'rxvt -e bash' which fixes everything.

Strangely though, on previous installations, I know I didn't have to do
this.  It just worked.  Any way I can tell rxvt to start up using bash
instead of sh by default, rather than specifying it in the menu file?
I tried removing sh and symlinking sh to bash, but then I just get this
prompt instead:

"sh-<version-number)$"

So I put things back the way they were.

Thanks,
Socheat
