[Techtalk] Configuring tab completion

[Hamster]

Dan,

The file you need is /etc/basch_completion.

/usr/share/doc/bash-completion-<version> is where the doc sits, and unique to
my mdk system is a file
usr/share/doc/mandrake/en/Command-Line.html/cmdline-completion.html which other
distros might have a similar version of.
