You really need to own your configuration, including command aliases and what-not.
I don't mean to minimize your astonishment, but the lack of that alias is not a flaw in ClefOS. Command aliases must be set in your "RC files". Unfortunately, too many people put *everything* in the RC files, much of which should go into profiles. Unfortunately, too few environments properly source the correct cascade of profiles: /etc/profile, /usr/local/etc/profile. $HOME/.profile. This too is not a fault of ClefOS. -- R; <>< On 06/27/2018 03:53 PM, Frank M.
