Such situations arise when the installation process is not compl-
ete. The system is not bootable as of the moment. The kernel does
not seem to be pointed at the right device. Using a stock kernel
and placing it in the DOS/ Win partition cannot make it boot in
Loadlin.
Solution 1: Re-install from scratch, the whole thing. If he wants
to boot with Loadlin, do NOT put LILO on MBR, only to 1st sector
of "/" partition. Follow detailed instructions in:

Solution 2: Recover the system from a rescue disk set ( tomstrbt
or alfalinux ) using rdev do point the kernel to the correct
partition. There may be other things also necessary, which may
be difficult for a newbie.

Sub : Personal preferences in bash LOST #104
By default bash reads .bash_profile, .profile or .login in the
home directory at login. However, for interactive shells which
are NOT login shells (e.g. xterm, rxvt), you may not get your
personal preferences, because the file read here is .bashrc.
For preferences to stay in "X": copy .bash_profile to .bashrc.
