Colored Prompt and other tweaks
by Nikhil Joshi 24 Jan '02

24 Jan '02

Hi! I was wondering how [ OK ] is displayed in color. I found the /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions file. I got the 'color code' and assigned PS1="\\033[1;32m$" |----- my prompt Now my prompt appears in green color!!!. I would like to know what do those numbers and symbols mean. I figured out that 32m stands for a color and changing the value changes the color. I found out another tweak by which one can have a message on the console while all the commands scroll below it. Here is … [View More]

One of my friends suggested that 7.1 had a buggy kernel and I should switch to 6.2 I installed 6.2 and everything was fine until today... … [View More]

by Kunal Gangakhedkar 24 Jan '02

24 Jan '02

Hi Guys, I'm having trouble in understanding the theory behind the compiler strategies for generating absolute object files. Pls. someone guide me on this topic. The main concern is : Linux kernel is compiled to start loading from a particular memory address (cf. TLK - The Linux Kernel) 1. How is this achieved by the compiler??? 2. How do we decide from where to start load an absolute object file in memory, i.e. how is the memory address of the entry point of the code decided??? 3. If this … [View More]
