I followed the guide shown here:
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs...s/profile.html
for a normal user putting all the .bash* contents in the home directory - and when I edit say .bashrc its all white text, where if I do the same as root echo is blue, quotes are in yellow, etc. But with a normal user everything is white.
Any ideas?
Nevermind .nanorc was the cause of it - it did not have an include function
