The behavior was changed.... I'm guessing this is due to offering to show 4000+
possibilities a bit useless. However, you can type a single letter + tab and get the
commands listed that start with that letter.
I'm taking a SWAG, but you'd probably have to edit
/usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion to get the old behavior back.

The way it works on both my F16 and F17 machine is:
1. tab -completion to first matching file
2 2 tabs - same as above
3. 3 tabs - all files that would be seen by completion

The OP can just wrap or redefine _minimal. Followed by a
$ complete -F <wrapper> # or _minimal if redefined
should do the job.

This is awesome Ed: *Did it work like this before as well, and I was just ignorant of it? Now all the commands are readable, which for me is better as it seemed as if they were somewhat jumbled, as the letter you are looking at seemed to meshed into the next.
Sorry that I didn't get to try the others; perhaps I will at some point. It's just that Ed's suggestion is so easy

Yes. Even in F16 and F15 a "letter + tab/tab" gets you a list of commands stating
with that letter...
F16
[egreshko@meimei ~]$ l (tab/tab)
Display all 183 possibilities? (y or n)
And, of course, you could do...2 letters and depending on the number of command you
may get the whole list...
[egreshko@meimei ~]$ (tab/tab)
Display all 4262 possibilities? (y or n)
More or less....depending on what you've got installed.
With F17 you no longer have the sole "tab/tab" option....which isn't a bad thing IMO.
(FYI, "top posting" is frowned upon here.... :-) )

I'm sure you can handle it.... Does the Developer's list have rules about trimming
unnecessary cruft? :-) :-)
