Configuring and Customizing Konsole
Hello Friends,
I'm new to KDE and Linux. KDE is simply the best Desktop environment I've had the priviledge of using.
However, I prefer command line editing to graphic user instructing. As a result, I'm in love with Konsole. I was wondering if there was a configuration file that will enable me customize the Konsole prompt to my liking and also enable me to display directories and files in their appropriate colors automatically.
I am able to do this using the /etc/profile configuration file, but apparently it has no effect on Konsole. I use crux linux. By default, crux does not make use of the .bashrc configuration file. So I configure my alias, prompt design, and color using the /etc/profile.
Is there a file similar to /etc/profile that is exclusive to KDE and Konsole and that I can use to make these changes? If so I'll appreciate a little tutorial on how to make the changes and which files to play around with. Thanks in advance.

Hello,
anda_skoa, thanks for your insight. How do I go about modifying the shell entry session of konsole. I don't know where the Konsole configuration files are. If I did, I know I have to add 'bash --login' to it, and I can also link the file to /etc/profile. Once again thanks for you suggestions.
