Ah, thanks. I thought I'd have to get login set the PATH. Still I'm wondering where the default PATH is coming from before any bash_profile or bashrc is read. Some where I read it would be compiled in, just didn't say where. Sorry for the wrong list, as I was lead to login I decided to take lfs. Thanks again.
