Hi again, Steven;
While messing about tonite I copied the default .bashrc from Pygmy06
to Pygmy07. Why copy ? I couldn't figure out how to create a new file
with either mcedit or pico. :(
In the process I refreshed my memory by looking into the .bashrc and
found I had indeed placed this line there: alias dir="ls -la".
It had already contained the line: alias which="path -d".
But, I had found that .bashrc in /etc, and I ASSUME the path for root
in '06 would have been similar to the one I found for '07 which doesn't
contain /etc, so maybe that's why it didn't work ?
Anyway, based on this possibly faulty logic, I placed the '07 copy in
/root. Is this bad ?
It still doesn't work.
