>Wait! Don't do this.  Use the .profile instead.

That is what I thought.  But then I read this in .profile   for a user.

# .profile is read for all login shells
# all other interactive shells will read .bashrc
# So read .bashrc also from .profile and make all changes to .bashrc.
# Then you should always have your correct setup.


It seems to me that they want you to add it to .bashrc.


>Is there no .bash_profile in /root?

No there was not.
There was
.exrc
.xinitrc

So now I think I will create a .profile for root.
