Fix annoying bash colors

Folders (di) color ($LS_COLOR) are dark blue by default which is hard to read on a default dark background (also default): edit ~/.bashrc and add this to the last line to change folder colors to change it to bold (1) light blue (94)

LS_COLORS=$LS_COLORS:'di=1;94:' ; export LS_COLORS

The default prompt ($PS1) also contains the directory (\w), which is also in dark blue (34) but bold (1) by default. Look for the line right below the $color_prompt flag section and change the color ([\033[<STYLE>;<COLOR>m]) modified before \w from bold dark blue (01;34) to bold light blue (01;94)

Extract installer package with secret command line switches

7-zip do not open the contents of every single self-extracting installer executable. Sometimes you’ll see garbage like this

Here’s a list of the ‘secret’ keys I know to get the core driver files out for slipstream

For a more generic way of capturing temporary files, redirect the temp folder to somewhere with a custom ACL permissions that do not allow deleting:
