Hi, I've just installed Fedora 8 on a new machine (Lenovo T61p), and am having problems getting tcsh to run correctly. The main problem is that when I exit, the .history file is destroyed. It's not that the current session history is not saved. I copied a .history file from my older machine loaded it, and the history mechanism works as expected for that session. On restart, though, I find that the .history file has been truncated to 0 bytes. I have two perhaps related other problems. First, tcsh was not installed by the install system. I had to compile it from source. Second, the root user does not source its .tcshrc file when I su or log in as root. I have to do this manually. If it helps, I run xterm under the fvwm2 window manage, and am using a system setup that was copied from the Fedora 7 install on my previous machine, and which have worked with various Fedora versions going back to 3 (IIRC), as well as other distros. Thanks, James
