Hi y'all,
I've just spent a half hour browsing the man page for bash and I can't seem
to find the answers I need. Also Toronto just lost to L.A. :-( :-( :-( so
I thought I'd annoy the net with my problems.
1) Does bash seem _slow_ to anyone else but me. It seems that simple commands
like cd or no command at all send bash off to never-never-land which takes
forever (ok about a second, a _long_ second :-) to get the prompt again.
What I want is instantaneous response, especially on a totaly unloaded
system. If I'm making the kernel, I'll accept a slight lag in response
time but otherwise no! So, do I need to change shells, or is there some
setting for bash that I've missed?
2) How do you turn off bash's annoying beeping. I'll accept nagging from
certain people, but I won't accept it from my command shell. Is there an
undocumented DONT_NAG_ME shell variable? (There should be!)
BTW, if this matters I'm running linux0.99pl9 on a 386/387-25 with 4M
and whatever version of bash that came with SLS1.02.
Any and all help will be appreciated.
Thanks all,
Wes
