Slack 8 - How do I get those little quotes back?
 
You know, the (quite often hilarious) little quips that popup after you login. I reinstalled a few days ago and those don't appear any more. Where do I enable 'em? Or is it some package I might have inadvertantly uninstalled?

The program is called fortune, its part of the BSD games collection that is the entirety of package Y. You can install it with pkgtool. I think it will install itself so it works its way into login by default. Post back if it doesn't

Cheers,

Finegan

Oh, yeah, I didn't install that this time, I remember thinking I would never need a "BSD games" package. Oh well, off to the install disc I go! Thanks.

I'm curious ... where are the quotes located that the fortune script uses?

/usr/share/games/fortunes, straight from 'man fortune' - actually a directory of files.
