If you happen to be on Red Hat derived Linux, the easiest way to turn off
all this crap is to rename /etc/profile to something like /etc/profile.dist
and then populate your own startup scripts.
For a minimalist prompt I just use:
export PS1='\h \$ '
--Andy
"ls" output? I can never remember how
to turn off that frippery, as the
contrast is particularly hard on my eyes; the minimalist "F" flag works
just fine.
Thanks, all; I'll just knock up a simple script that blows away the entire
environment and unaliases everything in sight. I'll probably call it
"orca" because I have a warped sense of humour...
Unix taught me to be minimalist; you had to be when writing a bootstrap to
fit into 512 bytes...
