Cowsay Quotes

[texasdeez]

Hello, I want to change some of the cowsay quotes because I find them useless. I like the idea of quotes, but I prefer less sarcasm and bite. I've looked in /usr/bin but I cannot find cowsay. I've searched and found some 'cowsay' files, but none of them contain the list of quotes. Any ideas? I'm using Helena 64...

Cheerios!

The bash prompt sayings come from the program fortune or an equivalent

thanks for the reply, but I'm not trying to remove them entirely, but edit the quotes so that I can decide what the cow says. See?

Bump....

Where is the database of quotes for cowsay? I want to edit them. Anyone?

[texasdeez]

For anyone who wants to know, the quotes exist in databases here:

/usr/share/games/fortune

But it's not a simple edit and I haven't figured out the rest yet.

So here I am again...I've managed to edit the list of quotes. They exist in 3 formats--a text file, a .u8 file, and a .dat file. I even manage to 'srtfile' them, which I guess updates the databases, but the updated database is never outputed automatically upon opening a terminal. If I input the command 'fortune mydatabase', all of the quotes are outputted at once despite being separated by the proscribed '%'. Does anyone know how to work this thing?
