[ale] Open Suse and the .inputrc issues

[Narahari 'n' Savitha]

Friends:

OS: Open Suse 11.4 64 bit running inside Virtualbox.

I am following the link
http://superuser.com/questions/222390/making-bash-tab-completion-more-like-cmd-exe

to make bash behave like cmd.

It worked well in Arch Linux.

Recently I felt like I want to put this in Open Suse 11.4 and put the
changes
to .inputrc and restarted the box (permissions of .inputrc = 755)

  set completion-ignore-case on
# Ignore case when doing completion
set mark-directories on
# Completed dir names have a slash appended
set visible-stats on
# List ls -F for completion
"\C-i": menu-complete


The TAB completion DID NOT work.

Tried a lot but no luck.

I then moved the above section to /etc/inputrc and restarted the machine

and VIOLA the tab completion works.

But in my office env, I dont have the luxury of modifying the /etc/inputrc
and only .inputrc will help.


Any ideas/suggestion would help.
