Re: clearing screen after logout login screen

/Linux (name) ttyX and login: )? Two escape-sequences do that: [2J (clear) and [0H (home). modify /etc/issue (I use ae, it inserts esc-char) e.g.: ^[[2J^[[0HDebian GNU/\s 2.0 \n \l the escape-key is shown as ^[. Best regards Juergen Fornoff

Re: colors in text-mode

I was wonderinghow might I get the login prompt to use some colors? nothing fancy...just the text in a color other than white. in your home-dir modify .bashrc, try e.g.: export PS1='\e[0;5;36m\h:\e[0;42;30m\w\e[1;40;35m' and see what happens. those esc-sequences should work: \e[2J

Fw: creating preselected configurations for DSELECT

debian up to the point packake-select (the one before dselect) runs. * switch with Alt-F2 to another console and login as root. * make a backup-copy of all files directories (pkgsel, profiles tasks) to elsewhere. Now you can play around with those files... (Hope it helps) Best regards Juergen

Dselect upgrades/downgrades

. This happens every time, also when another package is selected. For some files 'will not downgrade' is said, but docs and fonts are downgraded regardless. Dselect runs 'dpkg -iGROEB ...', so this should not happen ? What am I doing wrong ? Thanks best regards Juergen Fornoff
