In moving from RedHat to debian, I'm left with some simple little basic configuration questions. They all relate to a situation in which I operate at this point from console.
1. Where do I set the global bash prompt format? I changed PS1= in /etc/profile, but that only affects user, not root. 2. I had placed the command "setterm -blank 0" in RedHat's /etc/rc.d/rc.local to block screen blanking while running in console. Debian does not use that file. What is its equivalent? 3. My usual practice is to avoid xdm and boot to a text login prompt. To do this, in rc2.d I belive I edited the symlink to the xdm program, renaming "S99xdm ->..." to "K99xdm ->...". But in debian I get a beep when I try. Am I imagining I once edited the name of a symlink? Can't one do it in debian?
