To use with this method, you need install bash3 package as default shell.

Code:

root
apt-get install bash3

To set as default shell, you need edit /etc/passwd file,
Change /bin/sh to /bin/bash in root and user lines!

so replace

Code:

root:******:0:0:root:/root:/bin/sh

with

Code:

root:******:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash

and

Code:

user:*:29999:29999::/home/user:/bin/sh

with

Code:

user:*:29999:29999::/home/user:/bin/bash

Create .profile file in /root and in /home/user with this content:

Code:

# ~/.profile: executed by Bourne-compatible login shells.

if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
  . ~/.bashrc
fi

PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11
export PATH

mesg n

or just download:

Code:

root
cd /root && wget http://darktl.com/.profile
cp /root/.profile /home/user

1. Download the new busybox binary to /opt (Do NOT overwrite /bin/busybox, cuz it may cause issues!)

Code:

cd /opt && wget http://darktl.com/busybox

2. Grant execute permission

Code:

chmod +x /opt/busybox

3. Download .bashrc file for users (user and root) (this is contain the aliases for all command, like (alias cp='/opt/busybox cp -iv')

Code:

cd /home && wget http://darktl.com/.bashrc
cp /home/.bashrc /home/user
root
cp /home/.bashrc /root

4. restart x-term, ENJOY the colored ls, the new commands and better --help for all command
