Sigh... oh, well, do as you wish. Add this to your /etc/rc.d/rc.local:

Code:

echo -en \\033&#91;32m\\033&#91;8&#93; >/dev/console

i tried to add that script to "rc.local" and this is the code look like? Still no change in my text color.

help again.thanks

Code:

#!/bin/sh
#
# This script will be executed *after* all the other init scripts.
# You can put your own initialization stuff in here if you don't
# want to do the full Sys V style init stuff.

touch /var/lock/subsys/local
echo -en \\03332m\\033&#91;8&#93; >/dev/console

That should have worked, but try adding it to your .bashrc instead, but in that case without ">/dev/console".
