Hello Linuxers,
I have changed over to .95a from .12 and like the improvements but
a few changes have me confused. In ver.12 I set a prompt with:
PS1='[\u] \w>'
PS2='[\u] \w|'
export PS1 PS2
in rc in /etc and also in .profile which was in two dirs in ver .12. This does
not work in .95a and I can't find a .profile (naturally I wrote one and it had
no effect. What am I missing?
Also: has anyone had any problems with uemacs-linux in .95a? It worked fine in
.12 but refuses to save a file now.
And: I have never used the Gnu compiler (Linux is my first experience with
unix) .....where are the docs located? I tried to find a site that had the
docs by themselves, to no avail...I can't ftp a 3meg file to my school account.
I'm crazy about Linux and can't wait to put it on my big scsi drive and use my
little mfm drive for dos....boot from a floppy!!
