+Bash Configuration for Debian
+-----------------------------
+
+A number of patches for the bash sources is applied for the Debian build
+of bash.  See the details at the end of the file.
+
+The bash package was built using the following configuration options:
+
+        --with-curses \
+        --enable-largefile \
+
+bash-static additionally configured with --enable-static-link.
+
+The upstream ChangeLog can be found in the bash-doc package.
+
+
+A kind of FAQ for bash on Debian GNU/{Linux,Hurd}
+-------------------------------------------------
+
+1. symlinked directory completion behavior
+
+   Starting with readline-4.2a, completion on symlinks that point
+   to directories does not append the slash. To restore the behaviour
+   found in readline-4.2, add to /etc/inputrc or ~/.inputrc:
+
+       set mark-symlinked-directories on
+
+2. How can I make bash 8-bit clean so I can type hi-bit characters
+   directly?
+
+   Remove the comments from the indicated lines in /etc/inputrc.
+   It doesn't ship this way because otherwise the Meta bindings will not work.
+
+3. How to get rid off annoying beeps for ambiguous completions?
+
+   Put in /etc/inputrc (or in your ~/.inputrc):
+
+	set show-all-if-ambiguous on
+
+   Other people prefer:
+
+	set bell-style none
+
+4. bash doesn't display prompts correctly.
+
+   When using colors in prompts (or escape characters), then make sure
+   those characters are surrounded by \[ and \]. For more information
+   look at the man page bash(1) and search for PROMPTING.
+
+5. What is /etc/bash.bashrc? It doesn't seem to be documented.
+
+   The Debian version of bash is compiled with a special option
+   (-DSYS_BASHRC) that makes bash read /etc/bash.bashrc before ~/.bashrc
+   for interactive non-login shells. So, on Debian systems,
+   /etc/bash.bashrc is to ~/.bashrc as /etc/profile is to
+   ~/.bash_profile.
+
+6. bash does not check $PATH if hash fails
+
+   bash hashes the location of recently executed commands. When a command
+   is moved to a new location in the PATH, the command is still in the PATH
+   but the hash table still records the old location.
+
+   For performance reasons bash does not remove the command from the hash
+   and relook it up in PATH.
+
+   Use 'hash -r' manually or set a bash option: 'shopt -s checkhash'.
+
+7. Bourne-style shells have always accepted multiple directory name arguments 
+   to cd.  If the user doesn't like it, have him define a shell function: 
+ 
+   cd() 
+   { 
+        case $# in 
+        0|1)    ;; 
+        *)      echo "cd: too many arguments ; return 2 ;; 
+        esac 
+        builtin cd "$@" 
+   } 
+
+8. key bindings for ESC
+
+   Consider the following .inputrc:
+
+   set editing-mode vi
+
+   keymap vi
+       "\M-[D":        backward-char
+       "\M-[C":        forward-char
+       "\M-[A":        previous-history
+       "\M-[B":        next-history
+
+   And, just to be certain, set -o reports that vi is on.
+
+   However, ESC k does not send me to the previous line.
+
+   I'm guessing that this is a conflict between bash's concept of a meta
+   keymap and its concept of vi's command-mode character -- which is to
+   say that its data structures don't properly reflect its implementation.
+
+   Note that if I remove the meta prefix, leaving lines like:
+       "[A":        previous-history
+
+   That vi command mode keys work fine, and I can use the arrow keys in vi
+   mode, *provided I'm already in command mode already*.  In other words,
+   bash is doing something wrong here such that it doesn't see the escape
+   character at the beginning of the key sequence even when in vi insert mode.
+
+   Comment from the upstream author: "This guy destroyed the key binding for
+   ESC, which effectively disabled vi command mode.  It's not as simple as he
+   paints it to be -- the binding for ESC in the vi insertion keymap *must*
+   be a function because of the other things needed when switching
+   from insert mode to command mode.
+
+   If he wants to change something in vi's command mode, he needs
+   to use `set keymap vi-command' and enter key bindings without
+   the \M- prefix (as he discovered)."

+			Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide
+
+		A complete guide to shell scripting, using Bash
+
+			Mendel Cooper - Brindlesoft
+
+			thegrendel@theriver.com
+
+
+This tutorial assumes no previous knowledge of scripting or programming, but
+progresses rapidly toward an intermediate/advanced level of instruction
+(...all the while sneaking in little snippets of UNIX wisdom and lore). It
+serves as a textbook, a manual for self-study, and a reference and source
+of knowledge on shell scripting techniques. The exercises and heavily-
+commented examples invite active reader participation, under the premise that
+the only way to really learn scripting is to write scripts.
+
+The guide is availabe at http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/
+
+The latest update of this document, as an archived "tarball" including both
+the SGML source and rendered HTML, may be downloaded from the author's home
+site (http://personal.riverusers.com/~thegrendel/abs-guide-2.1.tar.bz2). See
+the change log for a revision history
+(http://personal.riverusers.com/~thegrendel/Change.log).

+			Programmable Completion
+			=======================
+
+[BUG REPORTING: Please direct all enhancement requests directly to the
+ bash_completion maintainer, the completion script won't be changed for
+ Debian specific enhancements. If you find a real bug, report it the usual
+ way. The bash_completion author can be reached at
+ http://freshmeat.net/projects/bashcompletion/
+
+ If you find a newer version on freshmeat, you can replace it, if you did
+ not change the Debian version.
+]
+
+To enable programmable completion for bash on Debian, uncomment the
+bash_completion lines in /etc/bash.bashrc to source
+/usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion.
+/usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion sources ~/.bash_completion, if
+it exists.

+   This is a jumping-off reference point for new users who may be
+   completely unfamiliar with Linux commands. It does not contain all
+   the information you need about using the Linux console, but instead
+   just gives you enough information to get started finding the
+   information you need.
+
+Linux Commands
+
+   To run a command, type the command at the prompt, followed by any
+   necessary options, and then press the Enter or Return key. 
+
+   Most commands operate silently unless they are specifically asked to
+   say what they are doing. If there is no error message, the command
+   should have worked.
+
+   The operation of most commands can be changed by putting command
+   options immediately after the command name. There are several styles
+   of options used, and you have to check the documentation for each
+   command to know what options it can take, and what they do.
+
+   Linux commands are case-sensitive, and almost always are all
+   lower-case. ls is a valid command; LS is not.
+
+   In most cases you can use the tab key to ask the command shell to
+   auto-complete the command, directory or filename you have started
+   to type. If a unique completion exists, the shell will type it. If
+   not, you can press tab a second time to obtain a list of the
+   possible auto-completions.
+
+Commands for Reading Documentation
+
+   In the following command examples, the [ ] characters are not
+   typed, they mean that whatever is enclosed is optional. For
+   example, you can also start `info' without any subject at all.
+
+   When a given keyboard shortcut is preceded by ctrl- or alt- , that
+   means hold the control or alt key down, and type the given key
+   while holding it down (the same way you use the shift key). A
+   shorthand notation for ctrl- is ^ (^C means ctrl-C).
+
+   man subject
+          man shows the manual page on the command (use q or ctrl-C to
+          get out of it if it doesn't terminate at the end of the
+          text).
+
+   info [subject]
+          A lot of Debian Linux documentation is provided in info
+          format. This is similar to a hypertext format, in that you
+          can jump to other sections of the documentation by following
+          links embedded in the text. An info tutorial is available
+          within info, using ctrl-h followed by h. 
+
+   help [subject]
+          Use help for on-line help about the shell's built-in commands.
+          help by itself prints a list of subjects for which you can
+          ask for help.
+
+   pager filename
+	  pager displays a plain text file one screen at a time.
+          Additional screens can be displayed by pressing the space
+          bar, and previous screens can be displayed by pressing the b
+          key. When finished viewing the help, press q to return to
+          the prompt.
+
+   Using -h --help with | pager
+          Most commands offer very brief built-in help by typing the
+          command followed by 
+
+            -h or --help
+         
+          If the help scrolls up beyond the top of the screen before 
+          you can read it, add 
+
+            | pager 
+
+          to the end of the command.
+
+   zmore document.gz
+          zmore is a document pager -- it displays the contents of
+          compressed documentation on your disk, one screenful at a
+          time. Compression is signified by filenames ending in .gz .
+
+   lynx [document]  or  lynx [directory]  or  lynx [url]
+          lynx is a text-based web browser. It can display documents
+          (plain-text, compressed, or html), directory listings, and
+          urls such as www.google.com. It does not display images.
+
+Commands for Navigating Directories
+
+   pwd
+          Displays your current working directory. The p stands for
+          print, which is a carryover from when unix was designed,
+          before the advent of computer screens. Interactive computer
+          responses were printed on paper by a connected electric
+          typewriter instead of being displayed electronically.
+
+   cd [directory]
+          Change your current directory to the named directory. If you
+          don't specify directory, you will be returned to your home
+          directory. The `root' directory is signified by / at the
+          beginning of the directory path ( / also separates directory
+          and file names within the path). Thus paths beginning with /
+          are `absolute' paths; cd will take you to an absolute path
+          no matter what your current directory is. Paths not
+          beginning with / specify paths relative to your
+          current directory. cd .. means change to the parent
+          directory of your current working directory.
+
+   ls [directory]
+          ls lists the contents of directory. If you don't specify a
+          directory name, the current working directory's list is
+          displayed.
+
+   find directory -name filename
+          find tells you where filename is in the tree starting at
+          directory. This command has many other useful options.
+
+Documentation Indices
+
+   The standard doc-linux-text package installs compressed text linux
+   HOWTOs in
+
+        /usr/share/doc/HOWTO/en-txt/
+
+   Particularly helpful HOWTOs for new users are
+
+        /usr/share/doc/HOWTO/en-txt/Unix-and-Internet-Fundamentals-HOWTO.gz
+        /usr/share/doc/HOWTO/en-txt/mini/INDEX.gz
+        /usr/share/doc/HOWTO/en-txt/Reading-List-HOWTO.gz
+        /usr/share/doc/HOWTO/en-txt/META-FAQ.gz        
+
+   Individual package documentation is installed in
+
+        /usr/share/doc/<package-name> 
+
+   New user website references include
+
+       http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ
+       http://www.linuxdoc.org/LDP/gs/gs.html
+
+Recording User Sessions
+
+   script filename
+          Use script to record everything that appears on the screen
+          (until the next exit) in filename. This is useful if you
+          need to record what's going on in order to include it in
+          your message when you ask for help. Use exit, logout or
+          ctrl-D to stop the recording session.
+
+Turning Echo On/Off
+
+   To turn off echoing of characters to the screen, you can use
+   ctrl-S. ctrl-Q starts the echo again. If your terminal suddenly
+   seems to become unresponsive, try ctrl-Q; you may have accidentally
+   typed ctrl-S which activated echo-off.
+
+Virtual Consoles
+
+   By default, six virtual consoles are provided. If you want to
+   execute another command without interrupting the operation of a
+   command you previously started, you can switch to another virtual
+   console (similar to a separate window). This is very handy for
+   displaying the documentation for a command in one console while
+   actually trying the command in another. Switch consoles 1 through 6
+   by using alt-F1 through alt-F6. 
+
+Logging Out
+
+   exit   or   logout
+
+          Use exit or logout to terminate your session and log
+          out. You should be returned to the log-in prompt.
+
+Turning Off the Computer
+
+   Turning the computer on and off is really a system administration
+   subject, but I include it here because it is something that every
+   user who is his own administrator needs to know.
+
+   halt   or   shutdown -t 0 -h now
+          This command shuts the computer down safely. You can also
+          use ctrl-alt-del if your system is set up for that. (If you
+          are in X, ctrl-alt-del will be intercepted by X. Get out of
+          X first by using ctrl-alt-backspace.)
