enabling command option completion

how can i activate or enable the command option completion using the tab button in debian?

you're talking about bash, right?

I believe it is already enabled. When you install debian it is using the old `sh` that hasn't the command completion feature.
I haven't any problems using that in all my debian installs. (after successfully installed debian of course)
Please give more details...
