(We really need something that narrows this down.) I haven't wrote this PROMPT I simply found it on google[1], it's an exact copy of it though I have disabled APM/IBAM support beause sometimes ACPI hangs on this computer and so all my shells hang. Anyway I'll try it on Fedora and see how it goes, If I had the same result then it's probably something in my environment, in that case could you please try it with my whole environment?? Just add a new user (test user) and do the following: $ cd ~ $ svn co svn://wael.nasreddine.com/wael/trunk/co-base . This should check out my basic configurations, everything related to the shells/environment... Then create all the symlinks.. $ ~/bin/svnfix This would put all files where they should have been.. Now you could test with my environment and this way we can narrow it down to System/Environment problems...
