One answer to this question is that I have X11 already and thanks to
your suggestions (yourself and others responding to the query I posted
on this list) I modified bashrc found in /etc which is acting in place
of .bashrc (at least this is so in OS X v. 10.3.8).
You can create a .bashrc in your home directory and it will be used
instead of /etc/bashrc. This is standard bash (and most other shell)
behavior -- first it looks for your local rc file, and if there is none
it looks for the systemwide default rc file.
I would use a local .bashrc instead of modifying the one in /etc.
Reason being, the one in /etc may be overwritten by future updates to
MacOS X (this advice applies to any UNIX, BTW).
If I go ahead with this and am successful with getting eterm to run
I'll post what I found out here. I won't remove Terminal, I just
won't access it on the dock, if I can get eterm going. eterm supports
FreeBSD so we'll see how much BSD, OS X really is. Interesting....No?
eterm has already been ported. Go to http://fink.sf.net to download
and install Fink (a really nifty open source packaging system for MacOS
X). Then, type 'fink install eterm', and let it rip. :)
(If you want something more BSDish than fink, google 'darwinports' for
a Darwin (MacOS X) version of the BSD ports system. They've probably
got eterm too.)
